Geek Bike Family

Ta. Went for Bluemels and Look Trail Roc pedals.

Anyone know how to cut some vinyl decals from EPS files? Marty sent me the og decals for Geekhouse, but I am very much not a designer and don't have any programs to open them with.

@maj don't you make stickers??

EPS would be Adobe Illustrator files. I'm sure Onward Display could print from EPS files onto vinyl

Thank you - these people?

I think @pdlouche may be able to do it - have asked

exactly

though @jontea just reccomended Chris at Sticker Wizard in his thread https://stickerwizard.ink/

Yep, sent my artwork in pdf from Adobe illustrator (thank you @Tijmen ) to Chris at Sticker Wizard, stickers look fantastic.

Needs better photo. FBNPNA for spotter.

Bit of a problem with the frame. I found some bubbling and rust marks on the chain stays. Chipping them back I found heavy pitting, including one spot where there is a hole in the stay. It looks like it has rusted from outside in. I think moisture must have got under the clear coat. It only effects one area. I think something must have gone wrong during the powder coating.

I have sanded back and covered with helitape for now. As the frame doesn't seem to be rusting inside out and I can see the extent of the damage, I am not too worried about riding it. I don't know whether a repair is feasible, or the frame is now on its last legs.

On a separate note, @fredtc do you want these tubs? You can have them for whatever you think is a fair price. They hold air and the tread is in good nick.

May you could drill them and then add brass in the holes with a a MAP burner? You could probably ask in the framebuilding thread where people actually know what they are talking about

Argos cycles will replace a chain stay for £150, plus the price of a respray.

If you're London area, maybe give Winston Vaz a shout.

yes he just replaced a friend's mercian's top tube for that amount

Geoff Roberts also for repairs, I had a new b/b shell for under £100 including postage

Winston did very high quality work on my Serotta, another recommendation from me.

Thanks all! I just spoke to Winston. Seems like time for new chainstays.

I had Winston do two new seattubes on two Indy fabs. No complaints
