"I've got downtube shifters..." T-shirt Cyclofiend


Cyclofiend T-shirt
I( ran into this t-shirt design following a link from Disraeligears to a site by "Cyclofiend." It appears it stopped being edited around 2012 or so. I'm not on all the social media (okay, any of the social media) so the references on the site to those sites are useless to me. But maybe those of you who are more immersed in C&V culture know more about whether Cyclofiend as a web entity still exists... and whether this design in particular is still available because I love it! Even if you can identify the designer then I could ask to use/pay to use for Owayo or Jackroo or Primal or... one of too many of the design-your-own sites to get me one!

I have nothing against new - not one of those guys. In fact, if I wasn't so cheap and could work on all the new stuff I might buy one. Ummmm, okay probably not, the "weight" of my steel which my buddies overestimate is their best explanation for my not getting to the top of that crest as quickly as some (as opposed to that luscious ham and cheese croissant most mornings... but I digress). In any case, I hope Cyclofiend is still with us, and would love to get one of these t-shirts... XL, if you have one and want something from all the things I'm posting photos of in my Charlie's Shed thread.

You posted this in the C&V valuation forum. So the value of this shirt is, well, priceless.
