Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Did DW finally come up with some decent looking frame stickers? Hope so...cause that's all he was missing IMO.
That last pic shows the seat tube sticker and it seems better. Instead of something gotten from a sign shop.

He still has the plain style down tube sticker. The new little ones are sweet though.

I mentioned something about his decals in a thread once. He went after me like I had taken a swing at his wife.

And yeah, I agree. Great frames, horrible logos. I'd probably debadge mine if I got one, and I'm sure he wouldn't like that either.
