looking for cheap decals
A while back I Built up a Centurion Mixte and found a company that would make up a simple name decal . I just decided on the font, color, and size and got 2 decals for about 5 dollars. Anyone know of a company that offers something similar? Also, I saw a decal sheet that had a variety of decals all on one sheet. anyone else know about that one?

Here's an old thread that I still post to. It allows you to print a vinyl bumper sticker decal with typical bicycle logos. The bumper stickers hold up pretty well and are not that expensive. The images I post are my own work. Some of them are not that good quality and often the font is not an exact match. I am getting better at it and now post .svg or .pdf images for better resolution. Feel free to down load the images and post them to a bumper sticker online printing service. As long as you are printing the images individually for your individual use on your bicycle it is nothing more than a bumper sticker...

A neat resource. I copied the Palo Alto oval, had a friend change image size to almost 8.5x11, and bought T-shirt transfer paper too make some t-shirts. Then had to buy a new printer. Then realized the new printer is laser and I had already bought ink-jet transfers, so back to the drawing board. 
Still, a neat resource.
Have not tried making bike decals yet.

1. Do you make your own rear drops?
2. What are the nubs on the back of the fork crown area?
3. Is this designed for a 1x without a front derailleur?
4. What is the braze on at the back of the seat tube.
Love the color and the lug work is lovely!

1. Do you make your own rear drops? Nope, those are from Paragon
2. What are the nubs on the back of the fork crown area? Left side is a cable guide for a disk brake, right side is generator wire routing
3. Is this designed for a 1x without a front derailleur? It could be run that way, but I've got it currently set up as a compact double
4. What is the braze on at the back of the seat tube. Top pull front derailleur cable stop.
Love the color and the lug work is lovely! Thanks!

Awesome bike! Very cool! Would that be Schwinn root beer, Sekai root beer or Raleigh root beer...?
