I've even placed an order and created a user account, which is very helpful. One comment: The VO International section is a little confusing in that it states that you are not retail. I realize that his intended to refer to the wholesale end of your business, but it could be clarified a bit. Questions: Is there a way to suggest new products, other than these comments? And if an item is out of stock (Minnehaha bag in this case), will you still have a sample in your store? I'd like to visit the store soon since I'm in the area. Thanks for all the good work!

I...The new site is very inviting. Congratulations.<br /><br />I do have one suggestion about the storefront. There is currently no way to know what sizes the cranksets are offered in. You should either list them with the specs, and/or have them go "grey" and unclickable in the "Select an item" pull down.<br /><br />Meantime, I read on the blog that the 110 will be offered in 172.5. Currently the 50.4 shows 175. I assume it is made in other sizes. Will it come in the 172.5? Can I get on an email to notify me when out of stock items come in?<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-50049999116018766312010-10-01T15:09:38.892-04:002010-10-01T15:09:38.892-04:00Quick update -- our SSL certificate is (finally) w...Quick update -- our SSL certificate is (finally) working properly. Sorry for the delay on that everyone. Whenever you're in store.velo-orange.com, you have full 256-bit encryption. If you look at the certificate in your browser and it tells you you're "Only partially encrypted" or some such thing, it means your computer has cached something (probably images to make the pages load faster), so you'll either need to either clear your cache/cookies or just wait until your browser re-caches things. <br /><br />If you have any questions or concerns, drop me a line:<br /><br />info at velo-orange dot com<br /><br />~KyleKyle Sheehannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-42407851130140940702010-10-01T13:56:03.028-04:002010-10-01T13:56:03.028-04:00I know the crowd here is not too concerned about t...I know the crowd here is not too concerned about this, but would it be possible to have weights listed for everything?

It's a great improvement, well done!<br /><br /><br />I do feel there is still a disconnect between the 'Velo Orange' and the 'New Items' font, and rest of the fonts used one the website.

That stylised nostalgic writing if you don't mind me saying Guv'nor smacks so much of the manner of which the ol' Marx Brothers movies titles went but maybe that's the effect you want to have, it's better than a lot of signage and perhaps is reminiscent of Rene Herse's stylised brand name as well which in fact, appears deliberate... you know, how about those old posters of Alcyon, Gauloise or hehe Cycles Sirius with the voluptous models but imitation is the best form of flattery, oh, I'm getting those big close up photos now...I'm starting to see it now.

Your ISP might have cached the page, could be going through a proxy server, or perhaps something on your computer has cached it. The only thing that might fix it is time. Eventually whatever it is that's doing this will need to update, at which point you should see the new site.<br /><br />As for the direct link not working, I'm baffled. The new VO store is on a sub-domain, whereas the old one was not. There's nothing that could be directing you to the old site from store.velo-orange.com, so I'm stumped.<br /><br />Thanks again for bearing with us on this transition!<br /><br />~KyleKyle Sheehannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-87315662803915447432010-09-29T16:05:30.463-04:002010-09-29T16:05:30.463-04:00Still not working for me.

The "Under Construction" page is definitely not there, so my only guess is that your computer has cached the page from yesterday (maybe not the browser, possibly the OS?
