Generic Reynolds Tubing frame decal?

[tv_vt]

A new bike eventually headed my way is built with a variety of Reynolds tubing: 953, 853, 725, and even 625. I think it would be fun to have a Reynolds decal on the seat tube, but with this bike, it would need to be a generic Built with Reynolds Tubing kind of decal, not one that indicates the frame is built solely with one set of tubes.

Is there anything like that out there? I found one sticker on eBay, but it's 50x50mm, which is too big for a seat tube. That one was for Reynolds' 125 anniversary, I think. Appreciate any leads. I plan to send it to the painter to put under the clear coat.

Thanks.

I'd reach out to Andy Newlands at Torch and File in Portland, OR. He's the distributor for Reynolds steel tubes in North America, and likely has a sticker to meet your requirement.

Another option is reaching out to Reynolds direct, they may have a vinyl pattern for your painter to use.

One solution is to add the different tubing numerical designations together and average them. That yields 789, I'm sure it's easy to find a Guaranteed Built With Reynolds 789 decal!

Sheldon Brown gave me this decal for the aluminum bike I built at MIT in '74.

He certainly was a character.

I consider myself fortunate to have lived within cycling distance of Harris Cyclery.

...I think I still have a t shirt from the shop!

I had one of those "not built" decals on a Teledyne titan. Kind of wished I had bought the 531 bike after the third one broke.

I like the idea of a generic Reynolds sticker or a generic Columbus sticker. I don't mix tubes because I'm smarter than other people, it's usually because some tubes are really expensive for no particular benefit.

Can you link to the "too large" version so that we can see what you're thinking would work? I'm not seeing anything that fits your description, so maybe taking that one and shrinking it down?

Take your pick and have one made up!

...I might make up a couple for my Ti bikes...



Edit: Okay, I did.

This one would work, but it's 50x50mm square. I think that's too big for a seat tube. https://www.ebay.com/itm/39535922216...Bk9SR4DGrZ30Yw

For example, this Columbus decal is 42x38mm: https://www.ebay.com/itm/31536793091...Bk9SR6rFvp30Yw

At that price, maybe order it and get a sign shop to shrink it?

If you have the graphic, you can order a single decal from makestickers.com for $15. Or 20 for $20.

I have a handful of the above mentioned "Guaranteed Not" decals heading my way.
