Flandria
Hello!
Can anyone share possible Experience ordering decals directly from Flandria?
I have a mid '70's frame and fork, they are showing their age from wear.
Thank you!!

I would post a picture but I need to submit ten posts before that privilege is bestowed... LOL

Flandria pics
I have yet to commit and submit the info to make bids and purchases on eBay...
I am definitely missing out on items, bargains, convenience.
I will try to post a few Flandria pics before I take her down from her 10 year hiatus and tear her down and go thru her, probably making many changes along the way...

Thank for looking...if I did it correctly assuming.

If you search the internet for "flandria stickers" you'll find several websites offering them, from different periods. Some are in Flemish, and if you need help with those, let me know. My Flemish is decent enough to facilitate. 
Nice bike, BTW.

That's a pretty neat bike, and many here would say "Preserve the patina!" (In other words, don't change anything).
The paint seems to be much more intact than the decals. Do you know if, at some point, someone did a partial repaint, just masking over the old decals?

Yes I would only if I could even come to that decision, maybe replace the decals.
I would never repaint.
That said, I built this Flandria to it's present state back maybe 30 years ago...then our family house burnes to the ground in a fire, lightening strike, and I lost all bike, bikes, parts everything. Bummer.
The Flandria survived, she was in the shed unscathed, the basement of the house was my workshop.
Anyhoooo....
I if any changes will only declutter and or use model specific/period specific parts.
I built this bike in my grandfather's shop, with him watching (probably dreading everything I changed), I dare not change anything out of our sentimentality of the memories the build created. LOL!!
I am glad the photos worked!!!!
I feel I am officially a member now!!!
