I'd really appreciate it if whoever orders a shirt could post a photo when it arrives. And let us know how long it took them to process the order and deliver. Thanks!

I ordered immediately before posting that I did so a bit back in this thread - just after the store was upped. Received my shirt today. The logo is a bit less sharp than I'd like, but it looks good. Pics are on my camera. Will pull them off and post as soon as I can find the interface cable...

I made sure they got an image with decent resolution, but I have no idea how that translates during the printing process. Is it just soft, or blurry?

Found my cable. Here it is a shot of the back graphic. It's got a 'softer' look overall that I'd expected, and the little cyclists' lines seem diffused as-compared to the source graphic. That said, it's recognizable, legible, and good-looking. I'm looking forward to wearing the shirt.

New leaf are the words Two spoke soft? or just the cyclists? seems like the shading on the riders may be causing that soft edged look

I think you're right about the shading, Buffalo - the letters themselves are sharp, as are the un-shaded portions of the graphic. When you pull back a bit distance-wise, everything looks good.

I took a look at some of my other T-shirts, and the Two Spoke shirt is the only one with significant shading in the graphic. The more I look at it, the more I like the effect.

Here it is 'in action'. Shirt size is large. I'm 6'1", ~180lbs.
