Le Croco Decals
Can anyone post some high quality photos of the downtube decals on a Le Croco? The decals need to be in good condition with no missing parts. I'm especially interested in the lower part of the croc and the feet. I'm trying to get some replacement decals made up and the decals on my bike are badly damaged and don't show the feet clearly. I have to try to duplicate them as best I can in Photoshop.

If you follow the link in the first post, the OP even posted his .xcf files so you can jump right into design.
That what you were looking for?

Jeez, that artwork looks like it's ready to print. Thanks guys, that link is exactly what I was looking for. I spent several hours messing around in Photoshop trying to clean my decals up and someone already did it (and did a much better job that I ever could have). I'm going to look into pricing for screen printing, and also laser printing.

Calling [MENTION=183511]techrtr[/MENTION] Have you made any progress on the decals. Do you have any pictures of your Le Croco?

Hey Brad,
I contacted a couple of companies and they said they could do it. I sent them the graphics and told them what sizes I needed and they never got back to me. Soooo, I'm still looking around. I've been focusing more on replacing what needs to be replaced and riding it before winter hits. Here are some photos.
