WE "EX" OWNERS HAVE A DECAL

In the search for this decal, four people showed initial interest in obtaining a decal for various frames constructed from Ishiwata EX 4130 Triple Butted Tubing. Others may follow. Hereafter, this hitherto extinct decal should continue to be available due to the diligence and generosity of two people:

BF'er unworthy1/ Alan, who according to his profession in the graphic arts worked and reworked the artwork to perfection.

"RJ" of VeloCal made this whole effort possible by offering to do an introductory run of 20 decals — 10 of each color variation. VeloCal will provide one complimentary decal to BF members who need them for projects as supply lasts from the first run.

THOSE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE

Without VeloCal's participation, the first run of this decal would have been too expensive for most of us — all the more so because it is printed on foil.

And, I think all of us who restore bicycles are daunted by the prospects of engaging graphics professionals to reproduce extinct artwork. We are very fortunate to have among us a pro who worked after hours to get this done.

Between unworthy1/ Alan and VeloCal, the repro decal will be an archival reproduction of the original.

I trust that members will come forward on a need only basis they giving actual restorations the attention they deserve.

TO RECEIVE ONE COMPLIMENTARY EXAMPLE FROM THE FIRST RUN ...

In order receive a decal, contact VeloCal at this Email address:

"JR." <wandson1@msn.com>

Specify what color you prefer out of the two versions available — black with magenta on foil, or black with white on foil. (You may or may not get a choice as the first run is mailed out). Attached are small JPEG images to help you. Note: the art versions are not showing the foil; the white version shows a blue hue that prints as white.

I trust that members will come forward on a need only basis they giving actual restorations the attention they deserve.

Thanks … JR of VeloCal

Thanks … unworthy2/ Alan
