Hello,

I'm going to get some frame stickers made up via Ebay and they usually only print them in bulk. If anyone fancies one for the cost of some postage just let me know.

I'll put the artwork up on here shortly.

Thanks

Tom

That's an interesting idea Tom, I could be persuaded

I'd be up for that, a mudguard sticker aka LEL style

I'd be interested

Me too...

But maybe this needs posting on the main forum now as perhaps only a few people are still checking this sub forum?

I'll do that - the artwork is looking like a weekend project given my ridiculous commute!

First attempts. Comments welcome...

I prefer the first option, for what little it is worth. I'm unsure whether I'd buy such a sticker anyway.

An interesting idea, by the way. Back in the day (up till the 50s perhaps), some French brevets had 'seals' on riders' bikes and some riders simply never cut them off the frame. Bike collectors seem to like knowing something of a bike's history, even when the original owner is long buried. A RUSA friend prints his own discrete sticker every time he finishes a LRM event (which is fairly frequently) that gets added to his bike case.

The ADF still do stickers, but they're so cryptic that nobody who hasn't got one knows what it is.

Those Diagonalistes get everywhere (in France and occasionally Europe).

Right enough, I had forgotten to look up photo session, thanks! The chap in the ADF jersey with a red vest, does triangles: Brest-Perpignan-Strasbourg-Brest etc. and gets through a packet of fags per day. Lives in Mamers.

I don't have one but I know what it is

(I"ve tried and failed two diagonales though)

my idea of the sticker:

------------------
PBP
2015
Finisher
XX:XX
------------------

LittleWheelsandBig · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 October, 2015, 01:19:06 pm »

I like the XX:XX and agree that the finish time is unimportant.

T42 · « **Reply #15 on:** 10 October, 2015, 01:24:58 pm »

I'd need one with Hors Délai on it. In fact, I could do with a permanent sticker saying "HD Ready".

Hate to be a party pooper, but............Are you sure you're not breaching anyones copyright ?

rodgers73 · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 October, 2015, 08:51:34 pm »

I don't know to be honest. I assume that applies if I was selling them but I'm just getting rid of a surplus run. However, given the rather lacklustre response it may be a dead letter

jsabine · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 October, 2015, 12:00:24 pm »

I'd have thought that a wee email to check if they were OK for you to use the logo/motif would be appropriate - given the number of national shirts that were using it on the ride, I doubt there'd be any significant objections.

As for the design, personally I'd prefer it just as the logo, not with the extra Finisher text (keeps it more inclusive!), but in any case there's something deeply wrong with the letter spacing as reproduced here (looks like "F i ni sher" from where I'm sitting ...).

Instead of finisher I'd like just the distance there.

I'm looking for something like a miniature of my Frame Badge.
