Didn’t know about the 1 day on the offer thing, good to know. Yeah, it probably had a BSA crank to begin with and why it ended up with a decal on the headtube. I kept going back and looking at the fork on that bike, I really liked the design, didn’t really notice it that much from the photos of Doris Kopsky’s bike on the Classic Cycle website.

Kopsky outfitted his bikes with BSA so just about every Kopsky will have a BSA headbadge decal. That was 100% correct on that bike.

Now that’s some good info. Most of the time someone always assumes BSA chain ring - BSA bike. Thanks!

Kopsky basically only did 3 colors - Red - Black and Green. Although Glenn's bike was a chrome one as was Doris's bike. I matched the green as close as I could to Jeff's green Kopsky but didn't like it in green after I did it. When I found my Kopsky the bike was red but it wasn't original. It was just all red and didn't look right. So, I've decided to go black as I think the red/gold decals with wood rims will look really nice together.

Gus - that green one belongs to Jeff Groman. Here's another photo showing the lugs with copper head tube >

When can we get great pictures of the seat tube and DT decals?

I had "KOPSKY" decals made many years ago. I'll put them together and send them to you. They were done in vinyl though ...... YUK!!!

He sent me pictures the exact same ones a year ago or so but they are not optimal.

Don't send them, I do my own artwork. All 3 "S" letter are the same which is wrong. among other details.
