I am going to make that sign as an A4 size poster suitable for printing and framing. I'll clean the lines and keep the vintage colors. When I finish it I'll send it to DIY forum.

Clean lines with some coloring. This poster will be A3 (double A4) size, approx. 29,7 x 36 cm. Any suggestions?

Looks good, mate. Wish I'd known about the OG tin sign, that would've been a good snag at $10

I think it would look better with a metallic ink for the banner and floral designs, but not sure if it is on the original.

This particular version was a promotional issue done in 1935 for their 50th anniversary. It is still an awesome find for $10! I have seen more recently issued versions - probably from 1985, but the design is updated. How was it listed on eBay?

Colors changed, shadows and highlighting added. Floral design redrawn, Bicycle logo will be handwritten on template. I can finish that poster within a week.
