No. No, I don't.

I don't but by god I'm going to find you some! I'm going to make it my new year's resolution. I've been thinking for a long time now that i'm too selfish. Success here, or at least a good stab at it, might herald the dawn of the era of a 'new me'. I've started the hunt already. Nothing on ebay. But fear not, Luxortion, if we work together like pair-trawlers in the north sea, we can crack this. x

my flatmate speaks japanese, when i see him, i'll get him to translate the kiyo site, see if there's anything to be had there, and generally online.

Nice. sounds great! Lets see what we find.
I sent Kiyo a couple of mails during the year but no response. (they where in enlish).
I have some other ideas on where to go so lets see...

my bilingual flatmate has been trying to email them but the site's been down, or so he says (think he's being a bit lazy, knowing him he's binged on xmas food at his folks' and is feeling sorry for himself... i'll have 'a word' with him).

Trough my experience, and Tomity's advice, no Japanese Bicycle brand (NJS certified, mind), will supply any decals. They just don't. My experience with Rap, Peloton proved this right. I remember that Dave had also to make his own for his Umezawa.
DIY is the only way.

You can get Bridgestone and Panasonic decals quite easily though, through ebay, since they are related to other stuff. (3Rensho and Nagasawa are also relatively easy, but pricey as...).

Any tips on where and how to get some homemade decals printed? I guess a photo of the original decals and some hours with photoshop could make some decent ones.

I drew up Dave's decals if you have a couple of decent photos I can draw them for you....

When i went and saw the setup at Atlantic Boulevard in Bury they showed me how they make replica decals. They explained there were some designs that are impossible to recreate on their setup, but most can be done, so worth a shout to see if they can help in this case. Best if you can provide eps file of the design.

Not sure if I can help (PM if you need to) but I have a shop not far from me that will do any bike stickers, they do all the stuff for Argos bikes in Bristol when people have a respray. They have most artwork on file and don't charge that much about £5 per one at the most Argos will charge you about £20 for the same!

If you would like I can ask them for you.
