RBW decal kits - where to source?

[Jason Fuller]

Hey all - I wasn't totally sure who I should be going to, whether it would be Riv themselves, Joe Bell, or another party who does the logo work for RBW; and figured someone here has surely been through this process already!  Also, I'm curious for those who have, whether you received the artwork in digital file form and had them printed locally, or whether RBW or their vendor supplied ready to stick.  

Yes... this is Bombadil decal kit related!  I actually emailed Will @ Riv about it months ago but never heard back, and wanted to know who I should be asking before I bug him again. 

Thanks!

You would get decals from Rivendell.  They may have them and they may not.  If they have them, they will be physical decals.  Bombadils were sold with thin 'paint over' decals, and were also sold with 'over paint' stickers.  If they have them and if they recognize that you bought a Bombadil from them, then I'm sure they will sell them to you.  If they don't have them, then I don't know what other alternatives they will have for you.  You should call them.  If you are already in the process of paying Joe Bell to execute your repaint, then there would be no harm in asking him to source the decals and add the decalwork to your bill.

I seem to recall reading that they will only sell/ship to reputable painters...to prevent people from using the decals on other frames.

Makes sense, thanks Bill and Matt.  I would probably not use Joe Bell because of international shipping, but I have Chris Dekerf locally who is certainly about as reputable as they come. I will ask Will if they can supply to Dekerf. It would be no problem to have them printed if I got the .ai files, but I get the sense that is considered IP to Riv.  

Thanks, 
Jason

See Screen Specialty, Inc.

Look at the menu items across the top of the homepage, go to Bicycle Restoration. It's under R for Rivendell, it's the last one. 

Read their caveats and perhaps talk to them and see if someone at RBW HQ can suffice verbal provenance for them. Talke to them at teh Philly Bike Expo, very nice folks with an astute approach and product selection.

Wow, Andy with the sourcing. If you couldn't get them from Riv, a local designer could take that ^ and recreate it. That Bombadil is a rare beast. Jealous!

While Rivendell may sell them to you, I'd be surprised if they'll deliver them to anyone other than a bike paint shop, and maybe one they recognize.  I'm planning on repainting my long-in-the-tooth Homer in the next year or 2, and i was advised to get my painter in touch with Riv world HQ.
