Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Coppi decals or Ciocc decals.......or maybe Casati?

I'm thinking of getting some made up for one of my no-name alu bikes

I think I like the Ciocc ones... they're a little more interesting, I guess.

Bah, there is posing and there is BS. Don't do it man. If you want to put adds on your bike make them cycling related products, but don't make people think you have a bike you don't. Get some Sidi or Zipp decals instead.

I saw a Coppi much like that blue/yellow one on eBay a while back. Pretty sharp to me.

Nothing there really doing it for me, mate. What about the decals like on Jakey's new ride. Very nice...

You need some Type R stickers.

What's really satisfying, is to come up with a name that fits you and a specific artistic theme you are trying to project. That's what I did with both bikes I built, and I love them both. So does my wife.

hmmmm....that's a good idea, and those are nice bikes, but the problem is I would then have to ride around like this:

No stickers go on any of my stuff unless a manufacturer is paying me or my team. (or giving me free stuff)

That said, I like the Type 'R' idea best. Of the two real choices, I am partial to Ciocc, but if you're stuck in the C's, try Cilo.

Naw I have little sympathy for his kind of behavior. Besides we still got Moore, Bennett, and Williams.

I know you can do better than that; I have faith in you. It just seems wrong to me to put decals from other bike manufacturers on a bike.

Cilo is out, this boy is all Italian.

Cilo, you must be an old dog from the 80's and 90's?

If you're really serious about posing, why not put a Lance Armstrong decal on the top bar? You can tell people that you won 6 TdF's.

Coppi is cool....or get something really exotic like SAB or Zeus or Kuips

I've got a mate who had some El Dodgo "Caloi" stickers made up in the 90's when Caloi/Merckx was supplying frames to Lotto and Motorola. Every second dude quizzed him about where he got the bike on training rides....underneath it was an aluminium Evolution.

Classic.
