decals- sticker shock and awe
 

i am somewhat suprised to find that in this age of internet, that:

decals, waterslides, stickers (for C&V bikes) or what you want to call them

are not in greater availability, in either NOS or repros.

what gives on this opportunity?

is it simply copyright issues??? who copyrighted the word "copyright" :rolleyes:

or the likely staggering cost of producing "one-offs"?

the best one ive seen is the "guaranteed NOT built with reynolds 531" sticker! ;)

hey man, if you or a friend is capable of producing vector art of the decals you can take it to ANY sign shop and they will cut you custom decals for your bike. Shouldn't run more than $20-$30. Also you can check online for vector art for your bikes make, try www.brandsoftheworld.com. I recently had decals cut for my Bridgestone after I repainted it.

waterslides are a little tougher, although it looks like you can send artwork to www.koolbikes.com and they can make you some. There is sometimes a copyright issue, and also a bicycle counterfeiting issue, and so most painters don't just provide stickers. eBay has a variety, sometimes.
