Thanks Greenback.

They're waterslide transfers. You can get the paper for them off eBay for a few quid, and print them using any desktop printer.
This is the stuff I used: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232322269621?var=531574309332

Then all you need is a quick covering of spray varnish/lacquer to seal the ink before you wet them. I'm not sure whether they'd be any good for a bike. They'd definitely need a good strong coat of clear lacquer over them as they can be quite fragile. Depending on the printer, they might fade in sunlight. Not sure, 2D is not really my area of expertise.

If you're after some decals doing, the member GilM on here seems to be everyone's go-to guy.

Those trophies are bloody amazing. On another level compared to the trophies i used to get when i was time trialling. A bit of wood that was shield shaped with a wonky organising club badge and a badly cut plaque with spelling mistakes was the norm

Oh and stop lazing about and get on with that Ritchey

This is what happens when you ask a model maker who is into bikes to make bike trophies.
The event was organised by a good friend of mine, so I got a bit carried away to help make sure the weekend was a success.

Will do. Getting the tyres ready for mould making as I type this. Might have a rolling chassis before too long.

When you've finished, I'm going to suggest you make a 1/4 scale model of it.
And then a 1/4 scale model of that one...

will work just fine on a bike frame, but put them under the clear coat if you want them to last.

Ok mate that's great now I haven't got a clue about computers so I assume I need some software and how do I get the designs for the decals to print or can I find a pic on the internet and transfer this to the printer or software bear with me haha thanks
