Custom Decals anyone?

Hi all, I'm respraying my hack and looking into getting the local print shop to do some decals. They said that they can print a variety or text. I have to get about 20 units for them to process the order so does anyone want custom decals for a hack, fixie or what not? I'm thinking of getting some '410' done as well as text for my own frame so if anyone wants some post up. They'll only be about €2 or €3 euro each dimensions about 1 foot long, 4" wide, on either a white or clear background (to be decided) with opposite text so one decal will fit and read both sides, dimensions are only suggested, 4" is probably too narrow for the thicker tubes but that will all be worked out... any takers?

Shipping is usually within a week from the US. Use them all the time. Order size doesn't matter. I have gotten 30 sets at once, or just one set of $5 stickers.

No bother Captain, What text do you want on it?

I'll take my real name <snip>, if they put a flag after the name, I'll go for that also (Irish of course). My prefered writting is white on clear or black. Payment via paypal or I'll be in Dublin a few times over the next couple of weeks.

with flag if possible, is it ok in this direction and format? what size do you want the text and which font? how many do you want?

Dont worry about the cash, thankfully I dont live in Dublin

I'll be at the Tour de Kilkenny later in the year, you can catch me there...

Right, sorry for the delay, Helvetica in black (I know I said white previously) with a white or clear backround, writting 2 cm high(ish). 2 of them. Cheers, I'll talk to you soon.

Would it be wrong to put "DirkVoodoo" on my bike? My real name just isn't as dynamic.

I think once you've entered the "name on your bike" rabbit hole, it's just a question of whether you'll be sliding down head or feet first.

A link worth perusing if namey stickery things are your thing LINK

I got mine put on when the frame was painted. I was a bit uncomfortable with it at first, especially when a vet rolled past me one day with a comment along the lines of: "Ah would ya look at that....name on his frame....must be great for making sure the mechanic doesn't mix up his bike with the rest of the team's".
At this stage, I'm glad I got it done. It's one of those little, irrational things that, when I walk past my bike in the hall, makes me want to get out and ride it.
Hey, there's plenty of room down here in the rabbit hole

Custom Decals anyone?
