I need to have some downtube stickers made for my "new" bike. A google search has yielded nothing useful in the UK. All I want to do is upload my design and have someone print the things and send them to me. Any recommendations? Ta.

    Any decent sign writer should be able to help out surely?

    I used to get some printed by a guy at "Wellington Signs" based in Sandhurst. Probably won't cost a large amount either. Make sure you laquer over if you want them permanent!

  • Give Owen at Slik Graphics a bell (email is usually better though!)

    He made some custom green Fox decals for the forks to match my Commencal MTB. was very pleased with them.

  • I'm across the pond, but any good sign company should be able to do this as the above have mentioned. I will advise, make sure they use paper that will last in the sunlight. Some of the papers are for indoor use and won't last in the sun's UV rays, fading out much faster than the outdoor paper.

  • I had my "hustler" stickers laser cut at a local graphics designer/printer using a Chevy Belair style font, check it out - http://www.moredirt.co.uk/gallery_photo.php?id=4652[url][/url]

    Are they actually vinyl 'stick on' decals? Is there a clear coat of lacquer on top or are they 'naked'?
  • I computer cut vinyl..If the design image is good enough,then I can normally make the decals quickly
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.
  • Pete, what cutter and media do you use please?
  • I have two Roland cutters (Stika and CAMM-1) and sheet vinyl (e.g Grafityp 200/300)
