What's the consensus on re-doing graphics on a resprayed frame? Should i seek out original brand graphics or invent something unique? Anyone got any pics of custom jobs??

Frame Respray - Original or Custom Graphics?

Well, uh, which would you prefer?

I don't like most graphics, and don't understand why anyone ever bothers to try and match the originals.
I could post pictures of my bikes, one after respraying it with Hammerite from a tin, and the other as supplied (on my request) without graphics but I don't think that would help you...

sell it and get a titanium frame?...otherwise IMHO if it's probably only worth going to to the trouble of replicating the decals if a) the bike model is very meaningful to you or b)it's a retro classic e.g FAT Chance etc.
That said and done I rememember the "controversy" caused with my good riding friend by going for a well meaning S-Works Ned Overand replica look BITD of 1992, when infact my bike was only a team Stumpjumper.
So a moral might be keep simple, and maybe do not try and transcend the 'model' no matter how cool you think the look might be!!

Then I'd guess you don't really care about the graphics - don't bother with 'em?

Just put them on one side and then view it from whichever side takes your fancy at the time.
