does anybody know a decent place to get some custom decals for my forks and rims made? i've tried slik graphics, but they appear to be aload of toss, e-mailed them numerous times over the last few weeks and have not had one reply :roll:

    I used Slik and was very happy but I've heard of them not being great at picking up emails

    What sort of thing did you have done Northwind?

    I was wanting my name written in the same font as Commencal. With the special E they use etc....think they would be able to do that?

    I emailed Slik this weekend about some custom decals for my Flow's, judging by what you boys are saying I might just be better off phoning them tomorrow. :?

    There's a guy on Retrobike makes up custom decals. Can't remember his username but if you post someone will point you in his direction.

    I got logos done up for my commuter... I could be wrong but I think maybe they're not that interested in answering queries. I sent them a full spec and a word doc of exactly what I wanted, with sizing and all, and I got an email almost straight back. Makes me wonder if I'd have heard anything if I'd been vaguer or asking for advice.

    Not sure what they can do for you as far as design though

    Did stickers become decals before or after discs became rotors? :?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Decalcomania was invented in england in 1750 apparently. Decals aren't exactly the same thing as a sticker though... So the question is, when did people start wrongly calling decals stickers :lol:

    I got these decals/stickers made in France (I think). Let me look for his email for you or I may have another set somewhere. :)

    Slik may produce decent quality stuff, but it's easier to get into Cheryl Cole's knickers than get them to actually respond to an email.

    Absolutely shocking way to manage a business. If anyone out there has the same skill set as Slik, and even half a business brain, you could take all their business overnight, and pick up the ton of work they keep missing out on.
