campagnolo centercaps project

[Ricardo Borja]

I don't know if I post on the right place sorry.

couple days ago i finished my campagnolo centercaps prototype
those are made on chrome diecast, should be used all chrome
or just stick a campagnolo decal, red or black.

I saw on ebay one original for 75.00 bucks, amean $300 a set!! that's why i turn
to make my owns.
see the auction..

what do you think? some opinion to improve this project?
right now the decals are from one guy from UK, but I can make my "campagnolo vectors file"
to make my owns decals at any size or color desire.

or somebody are interested to get a set? for awhile this is just a
project, to make more i'll need to invest time and $$ to do it.

thanks for watching

Nope... no good... send them to me...

... so I can DISPOSE of them properly...

HA!

Great stuff BTW... Sooo... how are my brother's taillight lenses coming?

my vote would be...

to cast them with a brushed look instead of chrome. They are too shiny for the wheels. Your attention goes directly to the center cap. Just an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...

Excellent execution of a no longer available item. I applaud you and your craftsmanship!

Regards,

Arman

Hi Tony

Job is done, just i need to wait to let to dry, I want to send to him next friday.

Do you want to dispose just the caps or wheels too!! (lol)

Thanks.

Yeah, thanks for your opinion, i didn't think on that, maybe a satin finish... or antique peweter...

I'll keep on mind

thanks.

1 vote for satin finish

A soft luster to match the wheel would look good.

Campy wheels and caps

Ricardo,
Looks like you found a set of Campy's. 14 inchers too. Is that what you were looking for?

Your handiwork is wonderfull as usual. I am sure whatever choice you make it will be nice.
FYI you can beat that $75 price at fiat plus. Chris has the caps available for $32 each including the clips. Not free but better than $300. I just ordered a set for my 4 spoke campy's.
