Post by: Zippy on February 04, 2008, 10:50 PM: It's off to the powder coaters within the next month. Decals will be here when Stodgy has hurried up with his DIY. :LolLolLolLol:

I'm going to build it but will get parts as and when they turn up, I won't particularly chase them unless they're hard to get parts like seats or bars. :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: muttley on February 12, 2008, 09:35 AM: Stodgy my dear chap we need to get a run of these for RAD members sir :4_17_5:

Mine arent on straight (quality control :( )
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Stodgy on February 12, 2008, 09:46 AM: Hey Muttley - I know mate, I've got to get a move on. Your ones are the original ones on the frame and I didn't think it was right to replace them.

Anyhow, was it these everyone is after?

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b292/stodgy1/DSC05827_sml.jpg)

;)

Yes, yes, I'll have a word with myself and get them done. Problem is (as with most Hoffman stickers) they are not perfect and to repro them I will have to build in the inperfections. Ross - have a look at yours dude...see all that background 'mess' (i.e. scan artifacts and pixelisation)? I've gotta make sure I reproduce that too...working on it.

Oh, and how about these:

Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Zippy on February 12, 2008, 10:31 AM: As soon as you can get them done that would be great mate. I'll also have a set of the Big Daddy ones off you as well. They have to be right for an SE made 94 Big Daddy though.

Also what is the RAL number for an EK as mine is about to go to get powdered this week.
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Zippy on February 12, 2008, 10:32 AM: Could you do me the EK decals as well please Mate. :daumenhoch:

Don't want much do I. :LolLolLolLol:

I decided to build it so I can hang it up in the shop.
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Stodgy on February 12, 2008, 10:36 AM: Spot on Ross - glad you were able to use the chainring! I hope you held on to the other one too?

Si - YGT is your man for Big Daddy decals, those are my only set and they were from him. All the others in the pics are originals apart from my Mk1 condor sets...

Don't worry chaps I will get on to it.

:daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Stodgy on February 12, 2008, 10:38 AM: Si - I don't know the RAL for the white, but it is quite a dirty shade.
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: muttley on February 12, 2008, 10:42 AM: I dont know if you will get a powder in that colour Si, its like an old english / ivory white.
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Zippy on February 12, 2008, 10:46 AM: Shall I just do it white instead then.
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: muttley on February 12, 2008, 11:00 AM: To be honest if i was restoring one i would go gloss white ;)
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Stodgy on February 12, 2008, 11:01 AM: Yep
Title: Re: Hoffman Evel Kinevel Saddle
Post by: Zippy on February 12, 2008, 11:24 AM: Gloss white it is then. :LolLolLolLol:
