Where can I get a set of vintage-looking decals made?

ISO down tube and seat tube decal set. Nice and simple, just a plaque on the side with a couple of stripes on either end.

You know, something a little a la gios.

If you ask Gus and he agrees, could you report back? He told me no, but one of his machines was broken

Velocals is well reviewed (I haven't seen examples in person though) https://velocals.com/

Another vote for velocals. If you have a good image of the correct decal you can upload it on their site for printing. May not look great that way...

Cyclomondo"

I've also used Velocals a couple of times and have been really happy with their work.

They did all the decals for this one using the original artwork and then customizing the color to match the bike.

Another vote for Gus Salmon. He might even already have the design in his files.

A while back he had issues with his printer. I made an advance order with him so that he could have the cash to get it fixed. That was easily a couple years ago, so I'm not sure what his current position is.

Talk to Tony at World Cycle Decals, worldcycledecalsltd@gmail.com
recently recreated some no longer available original, Rossin and Paletti sets for me that Gus or Greg at Cyclomondo would not touch.
Very responsive and accommodating.

It appears they currently have a number of Gios sets in their catalog.

Curious can you show me something you have seen that is an accurate reproduction of the original? Not saying Greg's his work is ugly, however when trying to recreate a copy accuracy is valuable.

Everything I have ever seen from Greg is a stylistic representation, interpratation or inaccurate where Gus Salmons work is just the opposite.
