Cannondale Decal Help
 

Forum,

Just got my frame and fork back from the powder coater and it came out gorgeous. Now I am in the process of trying to find period correct decals for my 1995 bike frame. I called Cannondale looking for a set, but the set they sell is for a newer generation bike with the ugly "C" headset decals and "quad" wrap for the downtubes. I have also been searching the internet and eBay with no such luck.
And last week I went to a local sign shop in San Diego only to have them quote me at least $25 per decal! The decals alone would cost me more than the powder coat job!
Anyhow, if any of you know of a place that I could get these decals from, or know of someone that could actually make them for a reasonable price, I would love to know.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
zsmithku

Muck the size and color. Golden.

Black, white, pink and gold. Good prices, great quality. Not exactly the same as your '95 decals, but worth considering.

There's also a guy on eBay who does full sheets of later Cannondale decals -mostly larger for the downtube. Add those to one of these sheets and you're good to go.

Anybody know where I can find some top tube cable guides? I have a box full of frames...

khatfull,

Thanks for the suggestion. I think that will work out quite nicely for the downtubes actually.
Another question, so in hindsight I probably should have measured the letter height and decal width before my bike was powder coated. Anyone with 1994-1996 era Cannondale road bikes mind giving me the measurements to the downtube decals?

Thanks in advance.

You're welcome. I just found them myself and am about to place an order to see what's up. Look into the "self weeding" option. Google "weeding" or look on their site to see what it is. If you do it yourself the decals are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper.

Be careful about the sizes. The interface is kind of klunky.
