Thanks......If the ones I ordered are too long it will be easy to section each end to get the correct length.
Nope, it's tough enough to get the feather scowl line on, but this is a point everybody misses: Specifically, although not sure fire method but, watch for the dot, above the I in Schw 'i' nn. it should be level with the scowl line, not poking above it as can see within my photo, in lower, too long 11-1/16" decal. Not only will the thickness of the font be wrong because the others are stretched before printing but, you try and cut it down and rejoin em?,, yeah, good luck wit dat thought, [grin}
Vintage Schwinn is the only one who's got it right, in their photos and proved once I recived a set through them:
Some of the deluxe models, which are the only ones I've seen that are really thick and go this far but, illustrate how different the font thickness on them can be. That is, many original decals vary in font thickness. likely due to the rapid printing, and many of the Deluxe's show the degree in the change that all of the 80-82 Cruiser's can have. Hence, the replica's letter thickness is wrong because whoever printed them screwed em up from the get go. probably photographed them and inside of photoshop, miscalculated the width, which would be stretched.
The top of this photos is the crap "Authorized" ? LOL while bottom is on an real, original Cruiser Deluxe. I donno maybe they put the best on the deluxe while the 5's and standards can vary in thickness in the letters, fat too slightly thinner than. Yet they're not, fricken 11-1/16" Inches long like the so called "authorized" are! :
