Look at what I'm reproducing, don't kill me keith.

[sjofels]

Since they are extremely rare and expensive i've decided to make a non commercial (don't kill me keith, or trek for that matter) replica, of the OR decals.
Once it's finished i'll post them for the enthousiasts. And I pledge to not sell or distibute them for money.

top decal is yet to be replicated.

Gil@cycleshed already does some excellent Bontrager replica decals.

I know there are different people who make replica's, but i personally want the vector file, maybe i'll laser cut em out of 0.5mm steel and glue them on with epoxy glue, and have the frame re-coated.

I'm also thinking of a candy apple red sticker on a white frame.

Now that I would be interested to see. Know people have done 'trick' head badges (inc the bontrager ones) but not seen decals. Could look really cool....or not.

I saw a pewter/silver cast headbadge on the framebuilders forum about 2 years ago.

Yes, that's the one.

These look more accurate than most others I've seen.... I'd be interested in renting the drawing to have my own replacements made if that would be possible...... nice work.

this site does lovely custom head badges, silver, pricey but consider what some people pay for a bracelet or similar.

and this thread on single track mentions a british maker...
the IndyFab badge is stunning - "with mango saphires" :shock:
