Decals for an older frame
I can't send PM's yet, but paging @JRrestore - can someone send them a link to this thread please
I need some decals for an early Raleigh Technium, in that great 80's purple and teal. There don't seem to be any online.
If JRrestore is no longer doing decals, does anyone know of any other resources?
Thanks

Decals
www.velocals.com. I just looked at their web-site and they do have Raleigh decals. They have a lot of different ones, so I do not know it they have what you are looking for, but probably. I purchased decals from them a couple of months ago for decals for an Ochsner steel I rebuilt. They the exact original ones I was looking for.

H Lloyd, in England, has most old Raleigh decals going back to the 30's. I'd look at what they have.

It's a 'newer' old Raleigh, Raleigh USA "Technium"
The decals are pretty different from normal Raleigh decals, I think this one might have to be a custom job...not a hint of it on either of those websites.

Search Ebay a lot, you might luck out.
If you can get good photos (online maybe?), a local sign / decal shop can probably make you good ones. I have an old 80s Sannino frame that needed new decals. Velocals had some but they were nothing like the original. So I just grabbed a couple of photos of the frame from online searches, estimated the dimensions, etc. and the local sign shop made what I think are excellent facsimiles. There was a little give and take in the design, but they were happy to work with me and it ended up being less than $50 for two sets. I later found a (very rare) OEM set on ebay and they are virtually identical to what the sign shop made for me. I haven't bothered putting the OEM ones on because of that.

Good call, I'll try to set up a Google alert or something
The decals on the frame are intact enough to recreate...I'm thinking I may try to get paint to match the teal and purple and tidy up the rusty steel bits with it, turn a bug into a feature. It can be my beat-up 80s bike.
Otherwise, beadblasting, fresh paint, and new decals it is. I'll get the decals made first of course, they can take measurements and colors right off the frame.
