Best place to get Raleigh burner decals and pads?
« on: January 19, 2016, 11:49 PM »
Like most people on here, i use Del for decals and Steve for pads (diamond geezers the pair of them), but who makes the best repro Raleigh decals and padsets out there? Freshfield Graphics on ebay and facebook seem to do them and they look good. Who do you guys use? Who are the best (in relation to Raleigh stuff only)? I need decals and padset for an Extra Burner. Thanks  :daumenhoch:

Steve's the best for the pads Andy, not seen any of Freshfield's work.

As for decals, Johnny Abbot is the man - www.bmxman.com he's licensed by Raleigh.  :daumenhoch:

Did you use him for your aero pro decals Dan ?
I've got a set from Del which I'm happy with but are these closer to the original colour ?

No mate, they were already on the frame and forks when I bought it.

I bought some for my son of one of the Burner facebook pages and they are not brilliant! Not the sellers fault but he bought them from ebay seller party-time-kids:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Raleigh-MINI-Burner-Frame-Forks-decals-stickers-old-school-bmx-/131690757735?hash=item1ea9617e67:m:mWJpeopngRZ-XmlZ1ET_78A

So I'd avoid them! They were only a fiver though. That'll learn me!

Thanks everyone. I'll join the burnerworld forum later to get the decals and contact Steve too. Thanks for your help all. Fingers crossed Paul i should have those levers anodised soon. Thanks for selling them- they were the last part that i needed (apart from a few nuts/bolts)

You don't need to join the BW forum, I'm not even sure if it's still going. I'll text you Johnny's number mate.

FRESHFIELD are crap.

Their decals are layered vinyl... and therefore the colours and details are incorrect.

Wouldn't put them on my wheelbarrow.

Nice one Dave - Pleased I asked now, as they look ok in the photos... I normally use Del & Steve anyway, but thought i'd check as i'm a newcomer to this burner malarkey! I've emailed Steve and Jon  :daumenhoch:

How much were the decals if you don't mind me asking? I could do with a couple of sets for our lads Mini Burners. Probably two sets of each with my poor decal attaching skills  :-[

£25 posted mate, which is roughly what Del charges  :daumenhoch:
