I am a bit torn about the following decals. I picked a few dozens of these decals at the same time as the 60's Campagnolo decals that I offered previously. They come from an old frame building shop that closed down. It would appear that the shop never used the decals that they were supplied with every tube-set. In fact, this goes hand in hand with my experience that many if not most Italian frames did not come with any tubing identification on the frames when built. In any case, I am willing to sell 20 of my stash of these decal sets for $30 per set.

Each set comes in an old blue columbus envelope and contains a frame-building fact sheet (very nice looking and framable in its own right!) as well as two (2) frame decals.

However, because of the potential for mis-use, I would like to know what you intend to do with them and will limit them to one envelope per person. Lastly, I may simply decide that enough is enough. On the other hand, for anybody doing professional frame restorations like Brian or others, I might be willing to make some concessions. I hope that I don't seem overly harsh in these conditions, but I have seen a few of these go for unreal prices on Ebay and I am trying to reconcile the profit motive with my desire to see them used appropriately.
