Yo Chuck, maybe I shoulda spelt it out ... by stating I wish to make my
"own" decals and asking about font type I was thinking to make the immortal "kamenjas" on a downtube and not recreate "masi" artwork. Hence tracing is not an option coz i need the letters K, E, J
and N. Still debating whether to add the stylized script "speciale" ...
I mean, all of them will be special, no? e-Richie\u2122 don't use no "speciale" either. We'll see. Also, Is it wrong to add the gay-pride Campionissimo stripes before winning anything? I mean, it will only be
a matter of time (of course) and I'd hate to then have to recreate new
artwork just to add them later.
Now thinking I should make up some "chuck [heart]'s bob" decals (and vice versa for the non drive side) and distribute them for free.
Umm ... I gonna set apart by making frames not for pure function or quality of workmanship but just for style alone. Y'see it's my belief that most people won't know the diff. but that's another topic ;)
ciao,

BTW ... I am related to Gavrilo Princip, so apologies to any Austrian's or Hungarian's out there and also for causing the 1st world
war. OK OK not excactly related .... but my great grandfather was his best mate and I gotta feeling he was drinking with him and dared him on
just for kicks .... so I carry this guilt and feel that every tiff or arguement, even on the CR list is my fault and directly attributable my
demon seed. No lie - my birthday is the 28th of June !!!!!!
