Hey bros, please help me out with this. It's my first build. Putting the decals on for the final touch and want to make sure I get the downtube correct. Can somebody please give the me distance from the head tube where the decal should go?? Thanks in advance. As always, you guys are the best!

everyone's decals were applied by hand, thus there is no "exact" placement, just approximate area.

as an example, i have 3 Trickstars with original decals. they are all different, but within about 2 inches of each other (downtube).

check out a few old ads and base your placement on that (since you'd hope a bike they used for a photo shoot was decaled well).

I did just that, checked out a bunch of pics at the Museum and online, just got all the decals on.. God I love this bike! My wife is worn out from me asking her to look at it everytime I add something. Haha! Thanks for the help as always!!

Sorry for the long delay, I have been away for some time. Here it is, about 95% complete. Still lacking the Hutch bars I want, new check pads and wheels. The bike I have wanted since the 80's but could never afford. I'll update with more when it is 100%. Thanks for the support! New projects include a Cali Goose and OS DB....

I have a Hutch Trick Star 2 and want to get the Candy Paint Redone. Do anyone know where I could get another set of stickers or where I could get reproduction stickers made?
