Hi, what's the best place to get themed stem caps? Quick Google shows up a few places but it's always great to get the STWhivemind recommendation!

I had one done by [url= http://www.kapz.co.uk/ ]Kapz[/url]. It looked good, it took a bit longer to arrive than I thought as I think they do a run of caps every couple of weeks, so I'd just timed it badly.

Also used Kapz with no problems. All very straight forward and took ~10 working days from order to receipt of stem cap.

I'd [s]second[/s] third Kapz. Used them a couple of times now and been happy with them.

Find someone with a pantograph machine? Trophy engraving place or similar.

(I've got one, but I don't have all the posh work rotating wotsits I'd need to get the writing around the cap)

Mint sauce topcats available from Mid August 2016.

Actually lets make them and see if he can sue faster than he can deliver

I've used kapz a couple of times, had spacers (engraved) and stem caps
Great service.

Turned out the purple colour they offer was girlfriends ideal purple, so had the colour paint matched and her frame sprayed. The bike is now more purple than the early 90s ever were

A couple of years back, thestabiliser had an Altern 8 logo cap made for me by Kapz as a birthday present, and it has recently had the thumbs-up from Mark Archer himself.

I have a mint sauce cap but it's started to fade so I took it off. I'll just put my order in for a new, laser etched one so that Jo can send it out in 2036.
