Yep, it has a 5" long headtube Del so has to be a f&f purchase or you'd never find the forks for it - my brother used to have one but he's sent it to Australia to Marty I believe... ;-)

Light as fook and nice quality frame & forks.
Still limping......

Yours tell you no lies Del, it is a 5" head tube  :daumenhoch:  Looks like you'll have at least two sets of Procraft decals to sort out too  :daumenhoch:

Ive been gathering pics for a couple of years now for my currently decal-less one to sort when I get round to it.
I had one when I was a kid which was labelled as a Team Karate, but Ive seen plenty of others done as ProCraft
In addition to these below I've a few more pics, mag scans and some Jpegs (rough) I created of the decals
cheers

I sent Del some pics of the Procraft decals a while back and he said he would be able to draw them up from those:






The down tube is the word ProCraft, same as the logo but in an outline, same for the forks.  The Headtube is the word Pro then undeneath ProCraft running verically if that makes sense (it has a 5 inch headtube).  The Seat tube has the ProCraft logo shown on the top left of this ad:

The Headtube decal is simply the words Pro and ProCraft, running down the headtube, there are a couple of pics on BMX Museum and I have a pic somewhere but can't find it at the moment!

Here you go, you can just make out the word Procraft running up the headtube, in other pics on the Museum you can see the word PRO on the other side  :daumenhoch:

Nice i see what you mean  :daumenhoch:

ive also seen another type of headtube decal that goes left to right but sort of rises and lowers at each end ?

possibly a personel custom job not sure

great stuff though really appreciate the help  :4_17_5:

Hi all

Just noticed this thread.

If you still need sticker photo's, measurements, tracing etc I could bring my ProCraft to MK.

Jem / Marty

If Jem brings his ProCraft to the fix-it tent on the helipad at MK then I'll take pics and trace the decals for you Marty, or we could have a chat directly with Uncle Del when he's there too :daumenhoch:
