Decals that I can't find on velocals
So the last 3 communities I've asked this question in have pointed me to velocals, so this time I'm starting by saying they're not on there. I've got a 97 Diamondback Wildwood that needs new downtube decals but I haven't really been able to find anything. What do you vintage guys do when you just can't find replacement decals?

I've heard about a standard 8.5" x 11" blank decal sheet that can be used with a color laser printer in order to produce new decals. All you you have to do is get a picture of the graphics on the bike & print it out. They used to be sold at the Hobby Lobby or some such place. Good luck.

Ask your wife or girlfriend if any of their friends have a CriCut, and get them to match it as close as they can.
