Hi folks this is my auburn its pretty much how I raced it in 1993
the plan is to probably return it to black which it was when I bought it , and just do a general tidy up as I still want to be able to ride it

sorry for the poor pictures but I don't have a camera

James,

5 = May

88 = 1988

0181 = 181st frame made

That is great mate. Auburn were founded in 1988 by Todd Huffman and Bob Morales and you have the 181st frame set to roll off the production line

new it was old but I guess that makes it a bit special !
guess that's gonna make getting decals hard even if I can find out what it should have

Is that a Mason Smith stem?

I might have some spare decals but they are later ones

its a RGD which came from custom riders in hitchen (I think )

I was told they were custom made for the shop think some were mono gramed

You need gen 1 decals which are the same as the ones on my CR20r.

Thand72 (Trev) doesn't have any gen 1 decals, they are very hard to source to be honest, they will appear soon as a few people are on the look for them.

I am trying to get the artwork to get my own done.
