What did they end up costing you, if you don't mind me asking?

They were a tic under a hundred bucks for 2 full sets (double of what you see) with shipping. I also bought a uv protectant coating from him since I am going to be placing them on top of the fresh paint, for another $20. I'm not sure if it was necessary, but I didn't want to find out later that I should have. They are absolutely gorgeous; its my pictures that are shadowy and splotchy.

He made some for my Paramounts, they are very nice and worth the money.

Thanks for the information. Perhaps we should add him to the "links" page under decals?

The frame is at Bilenky cycles in Philadelphia getting a repaint and should be back in two weeks. More to follow.

Bilekny make some very nice frames. Nice finishing work too, so you should be happy.......... and I'd really like to know the names of the gorgeous young ladies they had at their NAHBS booth last year(07/08??)...... Wink

I'd say he is definitely worthy.

David,
I had the same problem. It took me 3 emails to get a reply and he was slow to respond.

I am disappointed that you guys aren't able to reach him. He does great work. I'm sorry but I dont have his number; I have always reached him by email. I cant imagine he just has too much work in our present economy. All I can say is keep trying and good luck! Sincerely, Dan

I'm not sure how it is for your guy over there, but Greg from Cyclemondo has a real job and is sometimes hard to reach when that job is keeping him busy. The decals are just a sideline.

I have used Greg Softly - Cyclomondo (see ebay) for both my bikes. His Colnago decals sell all over and his late-70s Gitane decals are fabulous. Worth an enquiry at least...
