Another submission from Rob! While this is is technically the same as a previous post, here you can see what was obscured by the derailleur clamp before. I'm curious if that was done on purpose, so the decal could be used on a non-Raleigh...

Turin Bicycle; Chicago, IL

Rob's submission for Monday's post was one of the most viewed decals ever on this blog (thanks to a little help from Bill Strickland and Bicycling Magazine on Twitter; thanks guys!), so he sent over a few more. First up is an unused version of the Turin Picasso.

Bluebird Cycle Shop; Petone, New Zealand

This one came in from from a reader, and I'll let him tell the story:

"Bluebird Cycles was an institution for several decades in New Zealand as it was the only place one could buy a high quality European road bike. The original owner was none other than Ron Ulmer who represented New Zealand on the track and who was the grandfather of Olympic medallist Sarah Ulmer.

I first came across the beautiful shop sticker while working for a bike shop nearby shortly after moving to NZ from the US seven years ago. The stickers really made an impression.

 

Fast forward five years, and I find myself leasing the former premises of Bluebird Cycles, something that was purely coincidental, and rather serendipitous.

 

One of the later owners, Ron Lyster, who after selling the shop  went on to act as the Mavic wholesaler for many years, brought in an old photo album with some samples of the sticker as well as stationery the week that I opened."

Great story Mike, thanks for sharing.

Turin Bicycle; Chicago, IL

This is a very intriguing decal, submitted by Rob, a regular visitor here who has contributed before. It is based on the Picasso sculpture in downtown Chicago (with the handlebars added, of course), and I found that in addition to a shop decal, this may have been also served as the logo decal for Turin's house brand of bikes back in the 70's and 80's. Rob explains that what you see here is a reproduction, "My Eisentraut originally purchased in '73 at Turin came with this decal, repainted frame and I had the decal reproduced. to match the original." Well done.
