I can't seem to find an image anywhere and there was next to nothing left at the base of the seat tube on my Merlin. Trying to locate to get sent off to Gil for his files/ get him to add it to the decal kit I need.
Any help/ links appreciated!
Thanks

Cheers Dr Dremel, very useful! I'll see if Gil can make use of it.

Further, if someone could measure height and width of the wee sucker and let me know it could be quite useful!

Thanks
 
Hey Steve,
I can´t measure an original decal as my sheet did not come with the GG stickers. If I compare it to the tubing decal, assuming the line thickness of the surrounding frame is the same on both, it should be 33x25,7mm.

Note that both of them above have an additional outline (tubing decal black with white outline, the pic of the GG one white with black). Bikes prior to around 1990 had no outline, just black, but the design was identical. Measurements are without outline.

The tubing decal is part of a set I got via SSSink (AFAIK the OG manufacturer for many companies BITD including Fat Chance). They were super thin, silk screened and therefore not cheap. Unfortunately they were also very fragile, so not sure if I would use them again.
