I work next to a graphics company who were more than happy to have a go at making me new rim decals as a favour to me/proving exercise of their capabilities. It's cost me a couple of pints and a bacon sarnie to get these done! So I'm selling off the spare off the print run...

DUE TO DEMAND, ANOTHER PRINT RUN HAS BEEN DONE :D

These are perfect unlike the karma misprint set I gave away.

Glossy vinyl sticky back, ready to peel and apply with punched hole for the spoke, as pictured.

£7.50 / pair posted, UK. (RoW +£1)

ORIGINAL SPEC, YELLOW & PINK

14 SOLD, 0 AVAILABLE!
===============================
ORIGINAL SPEC, YELLOW & RED

5 SOLD, 0 AVAILABLE



SOLD
There's also ONE spare pair available in YELLOW & RED that I had made for another member that wanted them in red.
£5.00 / pair posted, UK.


KARMA - CLAIMED.
The first print has a slight typo with a dot in the number, typed as "606.1T6" and the font is slightly thicker than original but other than that they're bang on size and colour.
FREE if anyone wants them. Just got the one pair.

Great idea.. Fed up of my rims looking tatty due to flaky stickers. They look good.
Is it safe to say the proving exercise has worked and to what end?

What's the chances of future runs of other brands; Mavic and the like?

Cheers

Thanks, and that's why I explored this idea of getting new decals produced. Take a look at what mine were like:


The guy's business is making signs, shopfronts, vehicle graphics and wraps, so I knew he'd be capable but if I had to pay the going rate to set these up it would've been well over £25 for my pair alone so hardly cheap. He'll run off more in 'spare time' for me if I can cover the cost of the vinyl & ink, but as for making any others from scratched, I'd need to ask. I had to give him the original decal to scan and measure exact dimensions to make reproduction process easier, but he's capable of anything. As with everything in this world it's just time and money to get stuff done. I initially approached our resident decals guru Gil, who was all for having a go but at the end of the day Gil is a business as well, so similar costs were talked about in setting these up, which I was reluctant to at this time (but probably would've done eventually!). If I hadn't had the offer from my neighbour to "have a go", it would not have been this quickly or as cheap, for sure. I was also able to check the initial "print" which were wrong (and subsequently given away on this thread) and tweak the proof in person. This isn't easy at a distance of I had instructed Gil to proceed, and would've probably wanted to kill me for being mega fussy (I was such with the Al-Mega decals he made for me!).

I can arrange more of the same Ritchey ones if required, and also the yellow&blue Vantage Expert variants for same/similar costs if anyone's interested.
