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??
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 [i]only[/i] 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!! 🙂
Well, uh, which would you prefer?
erm... either
erm... either
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.
