While I wait until I can buy a mountain bike, I figured I should get my decal going so when I’m being rescued on the trail at least someone can laugh. I have a relatively healthy ob session with sloths so it is only natural. Things would go toward this.
Making digital art is really a hoot! Ideally I can get a huge vinyl print to put on my trailer to put the Morgan 3 wheeler in, really just confuse everyone.

I’m guessing you have a mounting point roughly picked out that will fit on a mtb. What strikes me is how good of a design this is to put on a jersey and shorts.
Obviously you went for the 90's splatter paint look. I like your design and how much fun you are having with it. Unless you designed around a specific bike and frame color a clear decal might not look quite as intended when installed though. Something to keep in mind when shopping vinyl thickness. At the very least your design lends itself to being easily split and printed horizontally on a solid background to cover up as many of the places modern bikes are branded as you want.
Have to ask what the leading candidates for a bike are? If this answer has the word Yeti in it there is little else to be said other than profuse congratulations for your design. On an uncalibrated screen this at least looks close.

I'm looking right now to buy local from the PNW so Forbidden Druid is my top candidate in Moss, then Evil Offering in Blue and Knolly Fugitive LT. I ordered some vinyl right now to see how they look as a test.

Those are all great contenders! I’ve heard many good things about the Evil frames.

That’s so rad! I’d definitely get that on a jersey.

They moved from seattle to our backyard in Bellingham so that would be the most convenient with factory support. I'm going to wait till April and see what gets released.

So many good bike companies up that way. You’re pretty fortunate to have so much of the industry happening there.
I had a heck of a time trying to narrow down bike manufacturers just in my state. There’s so many.
I’d be happy to keep tabs on your decision making process and what you end up doing with the bike. Please keep us posted!

Of course! I like unique which is why I'm so drawn to the Druid, it's just a neat bike.

I was looking into GG since they are the only carbon frame manufacturers in the US that I know of. I should give them a ride. I'm also going full coil with push 11-6 and fix conversion

I’ve heard good things about GG as well! Try to make it to a few demo events and ride all the ones you can. It’s an easier decision when you can confirm a solid fit and feel in addition to specs that you like.
That’s what I did and fell in love with a Revel Rascal. I may have mentioned it a few times here , here , and here .

So that’s what Specialized’s S-Works stands for?

Ahh! I’ve looked into them as a few have popped up recently that peaked my interest

But please don’t tell Specialized I can’t afford the lawsuit that I figured it out.

Always a fan of the retro splatter/brush look.
