Having no joy with Slik Graphics replying to my emails so looking at another supplier for my frame decals. Has anyone used http://www.graphicshack.co.uk/ ?
What's the quality like? Prices etc? I've emailed them to see if they can do what I want but thought it would be good to get some feedback too.
Thanks

I have used them- they're just standard vinyl cut decals rather than proper nicely printed ones. They look good on but aren't anything fancy. Just the Kona downtube logos are from them, the headbadge came with the frame and the columbus sticker was from this lot and is probably more like the Slik stuff. Not sure if they do custom but the quality is great.

Thanks both. Sounds like they may be not as good as I'm after but will see what they come back with.
Have emailed Gil @ the Cycle Shed to see what he can do. Geoff, got any pics of what he's done?

Gil is your man .. Had around 4 bikes worth of decals and few bits and bobs.. Great comms/ help with sizing/fonts etc and you see proofs of decals before you commit..

Top man

Surprised by Slik, have always been very quick and helpful for me, and the graphics themselves are spot on

I've used them before and they were great, this time not so good. 1st email took 4 days to get a reply, 2nd one is 5 days and counting..Hopefully they'll come good but need a plan B.

Another vote for Gil. Had plenty from him and they're always ace.

On retrobike GS also have plenty of fans but if you compare Gils 1993 Orange Clockwork decals to theirs Gils are far closer to the originals imo.
