    Default Transfers

    You guys using your name on both the DT and ST (31.8/28.6)--are your ST transfers slightly smaller or are you using the same size lettering in both places.

    it's supposed to be a secret, but two sizes are cooler.
    it shows that you gave it some thought atmo. if sinatra
    built frames he's have two sizes.

    Thanks--I've used 2 sizes in the past but both were too big atmo. I was trying to compensate for the shortish text by using bigger letters to get enough attention and colour on the frames (see example below).

    I'm working on re-launching (Zero Cycles is done, everything will henceforth be Musgrave--shorthand for Jason Musgrave Fabrications) and have been revisiting everything again to be sure all my i's are dotted and t's crossed...

    We don't use a seat tube decal with our name on it like we do on the down tube.

    Problem solved. :)

    IMO, compared to making bikes, stickers are easy... Print mockups- tear em off- print more.

    The art of what we do is under the paint, but what's between the color and the clear is another thing entirely, and god damn, it's easy, comparitively.

    As a nation, all we make any more is boxes and labels... sigh.

    Default We have four

    sizes of SPECTRUM decals. We rarely use them on the seat tube so it is not so obvious that we vary our sizes as much as we do. I use my judgement on which size to use depending on tube size and the intended purpose of the bike. The more race oriented the bike, the more likely I will go up a size on a given tube diameter than I would on a non-race bike. I knkow, kinda' wishy-washy answer. But there it is.

    I have different sizes for 28.6, 31.7, 35.0 so that three logos are equally sized and equally spaced around the circumfrence of the tube.
