[#5439821]

I want to find somebody that can make a weatherproof decal for me.

I need a label saying.

HEFTY

In the same style as lefty graphic style, old school

It's going onto a polished aluminium stanchion on a lefty 😀 on a Krampus...

Happy to pay, just would prefer to find somebody that loves bikes as much as I do...

Just got new fox decals from slik. Custom print as well. Great dialogue with them via email and was sent from sweden to uk inside a week.

Would like to see a pic of the bike! Enough clearance between the fork leg and tyre?

Yes, the rabbit hole has offset spoke holes and meant wheel had balanced tension on both sides.

Only shot I have is

Waiting for rear wheel.

It has same clearance as stock rims and tyres.

Gil M is the go to bloke for decals on retrobike. I've had some and they're ace. I think this is his website

If you want any more recommendations just ask about his work on retrobike. 😉

+1 for DNFIVE

I received an absolute excellent service from them.

Called on a Friday at 2.00 pm, talked the guy through what I wanted (patriot swingarm decal scaled down without the word patriot) and received it the following morning and it was very reasonably priced wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Why did that cost just out of curiosity? Thinking of a similar debadged patriot design on my five.

I paid £10 and a few pennies for the two down tube orange stickers & the two stars for the swing arms, that included 1st class postage and a cardboard backed envelope. Excellent service.

Just remember the Five swing arm is smaller than the Patriot so needs scaling down!
