A question occurs to me: How common is it for custom frames to lack tubing decals completely? Two of my favorites (Holly and Hartranft), that were according to their builders made for specific customers, are both free of Columbus and Reynolds decals respectively. Production bikes, though, almost always have them; as they should, since their buyers wouldn't otherwise know.
