I think so. I visited Mark sometime in the vague past. Sure looked like a shop to me.

From a rigid-fork Schwinn Frontier (early 1990s?). Family-owned shop in Deptford NJ, still going strong, I believe.

The later version of Two Wheel Travel's shop sticker, this one with Brian's initials. He still works in a shop in town. They had a moped shop adjacent to the bicycle shop, hence the two on the sticker. This Panasonic Tourist 5 was given to my bro-in-law and he brought it by for a going-over.

That's the sticker I have on my 1960 Allegro, though mine is less perfect. I believe the shop was in Pasadena.



Somewhere, above, in this thread, are more photos of the same.

Thanks @rhm!
I think you are correct about John's in Pasadena.
I previously heard from @repechage about John's in Pasadena. This is what he had to say:
"I have not seen that before, on the top tier bikes in the 70's there was just a white or black brush script font that was John's on a diagonal.
I think the consumer grade bikes received the full graphic with address and phone number and a cartoon line art rider out of the saddle."

My guess is that this is the top tier bike sticker that predates the brush script one described by repechage.

I bought my Miyata 310 from Stone's in 1984, while stationed at NAS Alameda. They are still open with the same address and phone number.

Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.

This was on an old bike I got this summer. Fay's Bicycle Shop Tulsa Oklahoma. Searching the Tulsa area craigslist ads, I see a lot of these Fay's labels on bikes.
While I wasn't planning on removing it, it came off pretty much on its own while cleaning it. The label is still in good condition and I'm going to re-affix it just because it survived 40 years just like the bike.

Hi everyone, the stickers everyone is sharing are super cool. Any recommendations on where to get a Centurion sticker? Do they exist?

Also any tips on how to remove a sticker without scratching the paint job?

You're right - I didn't even see the "of Colorado" on there. Thanks!

On the De Rosa. So we know where it originated and we know that it was in Cali, and now it is in VA.

to remove stickers like this, try a hair dryer or heat gun. Apply heat carefully, pick up one corner and peel back the sticker.

use WD40 to remove the residue.

On a ‘08 (I think) Gary Fisher Marlin, so not that old but the bike showed up in North Ogden Utah so a fair bit away from its original home:

Picked up an '80s Nishiki Backroads MTB from the co-op's junk pile this week. It was sold by The Unicycle, a now-defunct shop in Blacksburg VA. I'm pretty certain that's where it came from; I used to call on the shop and recall their stickers looking like this. One of you might have confirmation of that.

Found this Cyclorama decal on a Miyata 750SR I just bought. I'm guessing the bike is a personal import from North America. My online search yielded nothing. Anyone recognize it?

Well, that's my neighborhood. Never heard of it and I'm confident it hasn't been there in at least 30 years. I can't see if that says Concord Ave (renewal downtown area) or Concord Blvd (a little unrenewed). And it's too bad they didn't list the area code with the phone number because we've been 415 (land line era), 510 (fax machine era), and 925 (cell phone era) at different times... but this was probably in the 415 years
