Ooooooh, look what I just found on this website!!!

Listen here to what it says!

"Add a touch of Campagnolo World Champion finesse..."

That's exactly what I'm trying to do! Like exactly! It's like they read my flippin' mind. Loving this.

Now. I don't know if you know what I'm thinking, buuuuuuuuuuuuut... the overall surface area of a bike...


Based on this post (thanks Landgolier for doing the work !!) a classic steel bicycle (size 58, pretty much exactly the Huffy) is nearly exactly 1 meter of surface area. 1 meter = 1550 square inches.

In the description, it says that each sticker is 114mm x 19mm, which of course 2166 sq mm, everyone knows that. So 2166sq mm = .002166 sq meters, which of course is 3.357 sq in.

So given that an average bike is 1550 square inches, and each one of these stickers equates to 3.357 sq inches, and there are two of them in each package, that means:

1550sq inches / (3.357 x 2) =

1550sq inches / 6.71 = 230.839

So, if I wanted to cover the whole bike frame in Campagnolo Super Record World Champion stickers, I would need about 231 sets of them. The price on the website is 2.50 pounds (weird British currency) so the conversion on this is =

1 pound (GPB) = $1.23

Therefore,

2.50 GPB = $3.07

So, given that we need 231 sets of these stickers, and the price equates to $3.07 today (shipping not included), it would cost us:



$709









$709!!!!!!!


Wow! That's even cheaper than a Joe Bell paintjob! I'm sold.
