Outriding9800 - you should just put it out there.  That is what this forum is for.  Maybe even put it up for sale in parts area if you are creating them.

By no means copying a major - I meant having yours look like a major that somebody walks up and says, "I have never heard of them.  Where can I get one of those?"

Those are so cool.  It is getting to the point your chiner could look like a name brand if one so chose.

That is it exactly. Double sided...meaning, you peel off the part(bottom) that keeps the glue and then peel the top that protects/holds sticker together
I was generally going for a 'murdered out' look with something on the downtube(was going to add a chinertown decal on chainstay(i have 057) also)
I will try to post a pic of the sticker I mentioned in the earlier post.

Also, a 36t chainring may be an issue on the 256.  There was some talk that some were having trouble getting over 34t? on the 256.

In the past, those frame(LTK-023) seemed to have little issues here and there.  The first part of the big chiner thread is all about overcoming troubles on that. 
Also, it has been talked about that the ebay stuff are like seconds....meaning, having flaws, blemishes or some such little issue.  I believe lots have gone with those just fine though before these newer models came out.

There was talk somewhere on the forum of someone who lost theirs also.  They ended up creating their own and it looked really good.

I went with vinyl stickers.  I found austin sticker company via etsy:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/AustinStickerCompany
They can do 3 color vinyl 'stickers' that act/feel like a vendor did it.  Also, they charge per 'sticker' - around $8.00 depending on detail.  On that, they can't do fine detail....but maybe send them what you are interested in and see what they can do.
Just noticed they are taking a break so may not work for you if needed soon.
I attached what they did for me.
Later today or tomorrow, I will post up a pic of what their stuff looks like before attaching.

That looks like the BM-01 without looking at it closely.

Here is a nice lightweight saddle:  http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-design-Brand-full-carbon-fiber-road-bicycle-saddle-road-mountain-mtb-cycling-bike-seat-saddle/1334282653.html
Can't believe they blatantly rip off specialized...it is similar to Specialized Toupe seat but without leather/padding...good price.
Actually, just noticed it isn't availabe now...I believe it is still sold but without the Specialized coloring elsewhere.

It is interesting that on page 5 you said that you ran the 2.4 to protect the rim - and bam you cracked the rim
Is that the front or rear rim?
