Re: I had them done locally here in Auckland, New Zealand. Unfortunately they need to be redone as the vinyl was too thick and the glue to weak. I am organising to get them redone

Hi... help! I upgraded my vintage Deore XT hub from Uniglide to Hyperglide with the new hub body... but when you put a 7-speed Hyperglide cluser on it (12-32) the cone is the same level as the locking so the outer cog will touch the frame locking the hub. One solution seems to be to take out...

Here you go

Though (in my opinion) they still do look good.

They are printed on clear vinyl and you are right, they are not as vibrant as they look on the white backing sheet. See the photos posted elsewhere on this site. I may talk to the printer after Christmas.

Here is the bike with the decals. Just the wheels to do now. The hold up will be sorting out the rear cluster. I have a new Deore XT hub set but they are Uniglide and I will need to convert to Hyperglide in order to get a new rear cluster to fit. A new chain was needed as part of the...

I have been costing this out... getting the artwork done was expensive and I would like to recover a little of my costs if I can. I have had a look at eBay and sheets of decals for vintage bikes seem to be in the US$30 to US$55 range so I am thinking that £25 for a sheet as a mid-range guess...

Well my Trekker is back from the paint shop and I have assembled it... but I am still using the 'old' wheels. I have new his and rims to build up. The powder coat pair scheme has come out a bit more green than the previous. But then I am colour blind so what do I know! Next the decals...

For my mountain bike restoration I have hit a snag. By local bike shop (New Zealand) has no idea of where to get and has never seen the rear cluster that I have. I hope that someone can help. It is a Shimano Deore 6-speed cluster that slips onto the free hub and is held in place by the...

Here is a low resolution shot of the completed decals. There are extra copies of some of the decals as the printer sought to utilise the whole sheet. Is anyone interested.

I have now got the full set of decals for my 1988 Saracen Trekker. The graphics company put a few extra on the sheet to fill up the space. If anyone is interested let me know, and I may put them up on ebay. At this stage I have no idea what to charge for them. The decal sheets are cheap to...

Keep in touch then. It is hard to know what the actual cost should be. It is an expensive exercise to re-create the graphics, but once all the preparation is done the actual sticker sheets are very cheap (I think that the printing cost to me of one set; or 5 sets would actually be the same).

I am working to recreate the decal set for my 1988 Saracen Trekker. When I get the vinyl stickers printed would anyone on the site like some done for them? The attached are low-resolution examples of what I have put through to the graphics company to work with... a combination of logos lifted...

Hi Rupe I have recently joined this Board as I was looking to restore my 1988 Saracen Trekker and needed to source some stickers. Looks like I have found a wealth of other information too! :D viewtopic.php?f=6&t=278048 One of the forum members suggested that you might be able to help me...
