Trying to get these resprays done before Christmas but still having trouble getting hold of authentic-looking repro decals.
Basically, everyone who stocks / prints reproduction "Roberts" decals has got it wrong: the whole logo should be stretched out another 7cm or so.
Mario, Hlloyd, WCD, colour tech, etc etc all have the wrong version, and literally no-one has the right version.
I've spoken to Argos (who did Hunterlars Roberts respray), and they use a local sign maker in Bristol for all of their resprays, but they won't tell anyone who it is... you just have to get the resprays done with them to get it right.
but...
Getting both resprays done at Argos would cost about £340
Getting them done with Mario is about £200.
So Argos is £140 more just to get the right decals (to be fair, they'll do a much better respray job as well)
Which makes me think that if Argos use a local sign maker, then there must be someone in London who can copy the logo properly and print it as a bike decal for me.
So... who might that be?
