Reynolds decals

Post by simonineaston »

Does anyone know the situation re replacing decals for 531 tubesets (or any other similar decals, for that matter)? I've recently bought a vintage (1984) cycle that requires complete renovation and I'd like to preserve or replace the decal. Is it simply a matter of getting in touch with Reynolds, assuming they are still trading?

I got some from here:

I think there used to be some checking / control of Reynolds decals so you had to demonstrate you had a worthy frame and couldn't buy them and apply them to any old frame, but that seems to no longer be the case.

Otherwise loads and loads can be found on a popular online auction site.

Or there was also the very rare UK-only re-release:

Took the words out of my mouth, but I would add that there are a lot of fake decals out there too. Some less convincing than others.
The advantage of Lloyd’s is its very easy to choose the right decal for the age of bike.
The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

Beefheart takes all comers. I'll have to look out that album this afternoon. Still have it on vinyl somewhere.
