it's me again, beth. HI! i do hope you are getting my emails! maybe you just think i am crazy or not serious about "keirin cut" jeans. first, no, i am not crazy. i am just from the midwest, so am a bit too candid sometimes. second, i am serious about "keirin cut" jeans! i am very persistent, so please get back to me!
you know what? i saw that you were interviewed this week by both triple crankset and pez cycling news! that is cool. i mean, those are both pretty good cycling news sources. but my blog, beth bikes! has pretty much penetrated the biggest cycling market there is: the 40 year old silicon valley riders! (and you know what? beth bikes! also has penetrated the 4-wheeling market too. why? well, actually, if you 'google images' "biggest quads" look what comes up! whoa!!). but the point is, my blog gets mad hits.... so i think you would be wise to: 1) seriously get on this "keirin cut" jean design, and 2) DO AN INTERVIEW WITH ME! what do i know about interviews? i do way better interviews than the other folks. need proof? check out my interview to rising cycling star, karla kingsley. (you should sign her, by the way. she'd look great straddling a neon green bike. she won a superweek stage on the heaviest bike in the peloton, so just think what she could do on a neon green bike!)
anyway, these interviews were good to read, and i think i got to know you a little better. some parts were really motivating...and i think really highlighted how great of a fit "keirin cut" would be for rock & republic. let me make my case. here is me quoting you, to you.
From Pez (on your business strategy):
I tell everyone; 'if you can't get in the front door, go to the back door and if you can't get in the back door, go through the window!'
See! This is why I am emailing you at every address I can find. You have to respect that I am just like you. Going in the window! Get back to me!
Michael--c'mon! I challenge you to make us sprinter girls some jeans!!!
And who are the people here?! ME! Us sprinter girls REALLY NEED some keirin cuts!
From Pez (on how you got into jean design):
The girl I was going out with at the time wore these unflattering denims and I said to her; 'those jeans don't do your body justice!'
So, she challenged me to make her a better pair; I had experience of patterns from my mother and grand mother; I made her a pair and that lead to the formation of Rock & Republic – that was just six years ago!
Michael--c'mon! I challenge you to make us sprinter girls some jeans!!!
From Pez (on how you named "rock and republic"):
'Republic' that's the people, taking the brand to them.
And who are the people here?! ME! Us sprinter girls REALLY NEED some keirin cuts!
From Triple Crankset (on the RR women's team):
Our women's team turned out to be a little bit of distraction and kind of a disaster to be honest. We're going to have to take a step back and take a look at it from a different perspective. We're going to have to rethink how we're going to structure this next year.
There were things that shouldn't have been happening that were happening. So be it. It's human nature, but when it starts affecting the team…uh-uh. We're going to have to start looking for another way to do it. It just didn't work out the way I thought. Thanks for the support of women's cycling. We'll continue to support women's cycling but we'll have to think of ways to restructure it. Do it completely different with two completely separate organizations. I think that was the mistake thinking we could all be one big happy family. I was maybe naïve.

Yes, how to support women's cycling. I say start by: 1) making some keirin cut jeans, and 2) paying some existing women's teams mad cash to put the "keirin cut" on their kit-- like right on the quads, baby.
Okay, Michael, that is that. I think your interviews were awesome! And, if anything, they really showed me how you really support me and my quest for "keirin cut" jeans.
-You like that I am harassing you, cause it shows how persistent and creative I am.Thanks!
-You like my creativity.
-You like that the idea is from the people!
-And you want to make a pair of jeans that really fit sprinter girls, like me!
Okay, please get back to me soon! I look forward to meeting you and getting this thing moving!
xoxo,
bethie
