1977 Carlton Circuit decals

[thebobajob]

Hi

I have just bought a 1978 Carlton Circuit in Polychromatic Violet. It's in a bit of a state so, like my Sun Snipe from this year, I shall be restoring it fully with a new paint job and decals. I can find a set of the correct decals except the top tube Circuit one.

Does anyone have a Carlton Circuit? And could they take a high resolution picture of the top tube decal so that I can get it made up please? Any help appreciated.

Re:

That's brilliant. Thanks ever so much. Could I ask 2 more favours please? If I DM you my email address could you send me the images at full size as I presume you had to reduce them for the page. Also could you give me the width dimension of the decal? Really appreciate your help.

Re:

Sorry, 2 more questions. Is there a logo on both sides of the top tube? How far from the head tube is the logo? There is nothing left on my frame to reference.
Thanks
Bob

Re:

Ignore what I said about size of photos, I think what you have posted is perfect for what I need. I was looking on my phone initially.

Hi Bob,

If you click on the photos it should take you to the Flickr page where you can download them at full size. The width at the widest points of the white is 74mm and the height of the 'C' from white edge to white edge is 19mm. Its on both sides of the top tube, I think its a fairly common font so should be easy to get made up

Re:

Absolutely perfect. You've made my day and it's only 7am! Thanks very much.
It will be a while but I'll post up some pictures when frame is done.

Re:

Worked a charm. All traced on computer and ready for setting as a decal.

Thanks!

That's clever do you have something that traces it for you?

Re:

Freehand tracing in Adobe Illustrator. Auto trace wouldn't work in this case as there were some bits missing. Simple design though so easy to do.
