Apollo Decals
Postby whacky_racer » Wed Oct 27, 2010 1:30 pm
Am looking to restore my Apollo IV road bike and was wondering if anyone knows where I could source original decals, copies or get copies made up?
Thx.

However he is not the man to go to for local stuff like Apollo, Repco, etc. Google for Hicks Sign Company, they're somewhere in QLD. Glyn Hicks is a BMX and dragster nut and does a lot of repro decals for them. Give him a chase up.

I recently made contact with Repco for some stickers, but they didn't have the retro ones I needed. They sent me a bunch of the more current ones instead...

@Droid, perhaps I will do, looks like the strip and repaint is going to happen sooner rather than later.
The frame may be the only original components left (and the biopace rings), I may convert the rest to dura ace, including the 10 speed downtube shifters.

Any help appreciated.

Hi there,
Sorry but we have no decals for our old bikes.
Cheers, John Egan.
So when i get a chance i'll have a crack at scanning pics of the decals into some kind of program and touching them up (it would cost a heck of a lot to get the signwriters to do that job).

Would it? It used to be that you could get a heck of a lot from a painter in an hour but I 'spose its getting harder to find signwriters that wet a brush.ldrcycles wrote: So when i get a chance i'll have a crack at scanning pics of the decals into some kind of program and touching them up (it would cost a heck of a lot to get the signwriters to do that job).
Look forward to the pics anyway, when you are finished. Have fun!
EDIT...I see now you were talking about getting them to clean up scanned files??

When i first started talking to a local signwriter about reproducing Tom Wallace decals from a low res photo i had, it was going to cost $60 a set with the redrawing they would have to do. After a bloke put up scans of an unused set on another forum though, they were able to print straight from those scans for less than half that price. I'm guessing it would be a similar story if i present them with a high res picture of damaged decals.koen wrote:Would it?

It is very powerful piece of software for the price.
