Custom Decals

justyn_c_uk

I am about to start building one of these in a black and red theme.
As much as I like the naked carbon I would like to add a few custom decals to the forks and frame. Can anyone recommend the best material to have them made in (i.e. vinyl) and a reliable source who would do small size orders of my design.

Cheers.
Justyn

It is very similar, it will have red P-X saddle, with a red stem & bar tape, red kcnc jockey wheels and if I can afford them red Time RXS. It will be slightly spoiled by silver Fulcrum 3's rather than black, but all of life requires design compromise.

The ZX3 frame has quite a large down tube and the large carbon expanse could be improved with either a retro style logo or stylised design, my plan is a red/oranage flatlined ECG track. This would be repeated on the forks below the Pedalforce logo.

Be sure to post up pictures of the build, I do enjoy seeing pictures of peoples bikes/builds, it's been interesting to watch redddragon build his....

I will put photos up, currently the frame is sat in Las Vegas, but I'll upload photos of some of the components up soon.

Mail me with your design. I do vinyl decals (as a hobby), and have done many for people on this forum.

Either your own design or choose any PC font (I've got a selection of over 6000 to choose from, so good chance I've already got the file)

I don't charge much (e.g. pair of your own name for top-tube £1.50 (up to 15mm capital), a downtube one would be about £1 - £2 each depending on size, etc)

I've even got carbon effect vinyl - good for making frame protector patches

Bear in mind that anything you stick to the frame will have an adhesive.
Check that the adhesive is not going to delaminate your carbon wrap, though to be fair it's going on top a lacquer so that may mitigate the risk.

I've been experimenting with the decals on my wheels. I got these blue vinyl Ultra decals done down the road for 20€. I know the colour isn't perfect but at 20€ I might have another go.

Oops sorry! that image is a bit on the large size :?

You've got a fancy paint job on the Dolan - had a look at the site a few days ago - nice to see some custom paint jobs on 'stock' frames

See attached images for a few examples of what I can do in vinyl
