Thanks guys,
I was hoping they came in white, as someone gave me a set of decals for a white bike.
They're the correct design as well.
I am chuffed!!

All the bike above are beautiful, hope I can get somewhere near these.

Cheers

Any chance we could borrow your set of white decals to get some copies made? Cant seem to get these but most of the decal repro companies say they can make them if they had a set to copy.

I have no objection to lending the decals out for copying.
Just a little concerned they may get damaged. Would I get a pristine set back?

If you get these and send them to CBDECALS let us know. I think a few members would be interested in getting a set.

OK seriously, how much interest is there in getting some of these decal sets made as Mark may be willing to allow us to borrow his set to copy? For reference here is a better picture of the whole bike, somewhat old but it does show how the paint looks.

I would assume that AFE would like to repro these decals to add them to their library regardless of how many people here may express interest. Would be easy to confirm it with them.

Once AFE has a pattern they could make the Black set like CJKIT bike . I like the black also. Smile

Thanks Luckysox. I was just thinking the set on my bike look the same as the white scheme decals. Are they the same? I'd be interested in having a spare set in case I need to respray her at some point.

If you look colors look a little off so they might not be exactly the same . I think once they have the pattern outlines the colors can be changed fairly easy by the printer

It's hard to tell as they're both red and green and I'm red-green colour blind Confused

But if you look at the last pic of swiftnick's bike alongside mine they look very similar. But then who's to say that mine are original anyway.

I was just wondering if we might want to get a bulk order made at the same time we get them to copy Marks originals. No biggie though, just a thought.

I think Red and Blue stripes on a white bike would look great.

Ok with me to post, so it's over to swiftnick now.
I can post as soon as I get the necessary details.
Best

Ok, full set of white UK spec decals posted to Nick, from UK, so it's over to him to use his charm on the company who's going to copy them.

I have been looking at these for some time know. If they copy them I would buy some.
