Close followers of this forum may know that I'm doing some framework on a vintage Holdsworth for [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION]. What isn't known is there's some tradework going on. Those close followers will also know that he does saddle re-leathering, with custom stampings. When his Holdsworth arrived at Atelier Gugie, I was amazed at the wonderful decaling. Not knowing the Holdsworth label well, one could easily think this was their marque. Having seen some original decals, I can uncategorically state that they are an improvement on the original.

To my surprise, Rudi started working on some new branding for me.

Completely satisfied with his work, yet there was more:



Decals for downtubes, seat tubes, and gorgeous head badges in brass:



All I can add is, wow!
