Never say never. There was a batch of factory Teledynes painted a baby blue.

\r?\n> Does anyone know if Teledyne Titan frame stickers have been
\r?\n> reproduced? I've poked around at the likely sites, and haven't
\r?\n> found them yet.
\r?\n> Probably time to just start phoning around, but I'd love to be
\r?\n> pointed somewhere
\r?\n> likely (or definite) to start with. I'm pretty sure that they were
\r?\n> vinyl to begin with, so they could be done fairly easily by
\r?\n> somebody with the
\r?\n> patterns.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> I have serial number 2062, a 24" frame...no cracks or repairs (but a
\r?\n> mysterious small dent/tear in the seat tube, about midway
\r?\n> down...clearlyfrom trauma, not fatigue).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> If I can't find replacement badges, I'll probably just run it as a
\r?\n> bareframe, as a fixed gear...it looks incredible set up that way,
\r?\n> and there
\r?\n> are a couple of gearing options that work out really nicely
\r?\n> (vertical
\r?\n> drops, so one has to use Fix-Me-Up to identify workable
\r?\n> combinations for the
\r?\n> length of the stays (48-19 is about right for San Francisco)).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Finally, as a complete long shot...does anybody know of an original
\r?\n> fork for a 24" Teledyne gathering dust anywhere? I know they had
\r?\n> problems, but I thought I'd ask if there was a take-off gathering
\r?\n> dust anywhere...maybe
\r?\n> from a discarded frame that developed all of the other cracks these
\r?\n> frames
\r?\n> were famous for.
