You may or may not have noticed a few new Sunnyside skin suits at the last couple of races.  I got them made to represent the work I’ve been putting in with some personal sponsors over the last few years.  I’m on a bit of a different program than the other Sunnysiders since I’m a shop employee, but I/it still represents the same Sunnyside Sports team.  Matt and Serena have been a big help this year too, so they’ve been sporting them a little also (as well as Mike Schindler, one of the shop owners).  The original idea was to have a new suit for Cross Nationals in my home town.  I got in touch with Castelli and the ball got rolling.

The customer service I received from Castelli blew my mind.  Awesome communication with Rich, a small minimum and just the right timing meant that my kit was ready a lot faster than I thought it was going to be!  I could not be happier.  The suit is designed for cyclocross.  It fits better with more fabric from the waist up and has a beefed up zipper.  Perfect for the abuse that they take.  If you’re looking for new team clothing, call them up.  Good pricing, easy to get people on the phone, quick turn around and based in Portland.  What more could you ask for?
