My new Highpath cleland build

[mrkawasaki]

I see these fascinating bikes as a UK parallel with Charlie Cunningham's endeavours - local ideas for local conditions put into action without necessarily having/free from investment, mass-marketing or racing as key influencers. Popular solutions to problems tend to be somewhat watered down by the time the great unwashed get their hands on them. Seeing such genuine solutions in these concentrated forms is always stimulating.

To the OP ..... Welcome

Great looking bike with a load of history.

Its one of the few bikes I’ve tried, albeit not this style of frame, that I’ve instantly wanted .....

Amazingly practical and capable still.

Now to convince Danson to build be a replica **waves**

Welcome to the forum. It's always nice to have another Cleland/Highpath around here. I am a big fan of these hugely innovative mountain bikes. Proper British cycling heritage as well!

OK, here's what the transfers look like on my Highpath:



They are just normal vinyl cut letters, any sign shop should be able to knock a set up pretty cheap.
They seem to have come in any colour. I know of red, bronze, silver and yellow depending on the frame colour.
Your white frame would probably look good with a dark red sticker like this:



Font looks like Futura Pro, bold or heavy. Heavy looks best to me:





The letters are triple spaced all capitals. Letter height is 27mm, overall logo length is 355mm.

All the best,

Re:

Great thank you for that. Took it out in the snow this morning worked really well better than my modern bike. Must get some proper tyres for it.

Definitely similar to ride as a landy is to drive.
