Flag Source?
I posted on this at Mechanics but it petered out. I'm looking for a source for those warning flags that mount to the side of the bike. I could not inquire from the maker because the code he requires to email him is missing from his site. I was told the Velo site had them but i couldn't find them there.

This place has them for $14 and you can choose your color.

what about asking the frame builders...
I got clear labels and ran them through my printer to make a sticker for my stem (Kind of a goofy motivation thing..)

It says:
Big eats small
Fast eats slow
Strong eats weak
<edit: doooh... I thought you meant those warning flags, like don't go over jumps with the front skewer open...>

Can you have GuitarWizard post to this thread, Botto?
I think the vertical flags are best for visibility in intersections. I want a horizontal flag, had way too many near-sideswipes & want a little insurance.

My query has provoked a lot of joking around for some reason, i didn't think it was that funny. I hope somebody can help me out.
