Reproduction Emblems
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to find reproduction emblems for my 79' Schwinn Collegiate Tourist 3-Speed. I've looked around for them, but really can't seem to find them and am wondering if any of you guys know of a REALLY good place to find them, or of a custom place to do them. I don't really mind spending the money as long as it isn't some ridiculous amount (It's gonna end up being a very nice present for my girlfriend, the bike was originally her dad's and it sat outside for almost 10 years).
Any input would be much appreciated.
And I'll attach a link to what the bike looks like from the 79' Catalog.

I'm looking for the whole decal/emblem package. The decals for the top tube, down tube, seat tube, and if they are indeed decals, the ones on the chain guard and fork.
I emailed Elliott Bay Bicycles in Seattle last night to see if they could help, but, I'm not really counting on it, so, again, help would be appreciated.
Oh, and cb400bill, the link you sent me was much appreciated, but they don't have anything dealing with old schwinns.

If my memory is still sharp, it seems there was a bike shop in the "U" called "Second Gear Bikes" which was all rebuilt quality bikes and bike stuff. It was on the same block and side of the street as the Knarr tav. ON 56th at U-way. If you walk south, go right at 56th and look to the right before the alley on the downhill end of the building. I'm not sure if they can get decals, but I did some biz with them back around '98 and they were good at helping me out. They may not even be there any longer. That whole end of the block on U-way has at least two or three bike shops, at least it used to.
I wish you the best. Google "Bicycle Decals."
