Bosomworth Decals

Postby NJJ on Tue 9/Nov/10 1:43pm

Hi,

Just got my hands on my Dads old Bosomworth track bike he's had hanging in his shed for the last 15 years and want to get my hands on some Decals? He brought it from a mate in the early 90's who had painted it blue.

Also need to get a front wheel as this must have been thrown out, the rear hub is a superbe njs? not sure what rim it is?

Cheers

Try this guy in Aus. I’ve bought sets from him and they’re really good :thumbsup: I don’t know if he’ll do what you’re after but worth asking.

Sounds nice.

You'll will paying quite a bit for a replacement superbe, such nice hubs though and worth every cent.
What other stuff is it running?

Super champion rim and superbe crank set.

Not sure what happened to the matching front wheel but I'll keep my eyes on the net, something my turn up.

My Graphics are in a different font from his. Would it be bad if I was to put his stickers on my Bosomworth after a paint job?

eddie changed his stickers every few years, not sure what year those would be, but they look early

As JohnL says – it shouldn’t matter. My advice – do the topcoat, put the decals on and then clearcoat over that to protect the paint and the decals.

Were Bosomworth frames made from Columbus tubi or Reynolds? I'm talk about mid 80's If they switched. Trying to match decals as close as poss.

We had a Raleigh 20 restored to mint condition a few years back and exact replica stickers were cut by Salisbury Signs in Rotorua (from photos if I remember correctly). 43 Pururu st salisburysigns@xtra.co.nz
That's a nice project, mate!
