Hello Fred,
Good luck obtaining any decals from CyclArt... CyclArt has claimed in the past that they made "similar" decals that may or may not match the original. Prehaps the enlarged "C" is an extension of their modified decal policy. They require that you send them the frame by mail, UPS etc. so they can "verify" authenticity.
Too bad this shipping requirement exposes many frames to shipping damage, as discussed recently in the CR.
I wonder if CyclArt has legal license to repro those Colnago decals, why do they require buyers to send in frames to verify authenticity if the decals may not authorized for reprinting by the manufacturer in the first place?
