UCVC and Custom Decals

A bunch of folks have enquired about getting (a) team logo decals and (b) frame name decals. Here is the update.

First of all, there are several ways to do decals for bicycle frames: vinyl die cut, water slide, printed vs screened, under vs over clearcoat, etc. It is of course possible to print them on your own using store-bought sticker paper and a laser/inkjet printer, but these are problematic because UV rays will eventually damage the ink and the adhesives tends to delaminate. So it's best to have them professionally printed by a place that ideally works specifically with bicycles. Also, it's best to clearcoat over decals, but I doubt that this applies to anyone except those considering custom frames at this point.

I'm going to place an order on February 21 from Victory Circle in Golden, Colorado. Victory does work for a number of USPRO teams and uses only the thinnest and highest quality transfers. A set of 4 name decals runs between $12 and $20 depending on the design. I'll cover the shipping, and you can pay when the decals arrive in early March.

>>> Here is the order form.



Two versions of the frame decals will be printed. These will be free to all UCVC members.
