Gents,

I have just removed the decal on a 1983 MX1000 and found Dia Compe embossed. I own a few pairs of these callipers but not done that before!

Are they all embossed under the little red stickers??

I think it was the early ones that were all stamped under the decal. $:-\$

What year is yours?

I'm sure someone else will clarify.

I dont want to remove the decals off my sets to check. $:-\$ But they do look nice without if stamped.

This was an 83. Mint but faded calliper! Was a real bonus! I fancy leaving the decals off it!!

I think your right does look good with no decal.

So if MX1000 came out in 79 and finished in 85 this is quite late in the run. Would be nice to clarify. $:-\$

Do I have a sneaky peek on some of mine?

Replacement decals are only £3.00 - not sure I would! I am tempted though to pull them all off! I love that look!

That is a nice build combo on that, Gold and Yellow. Don't think I've seen any pics of it in any other build thread. Put a full pic up please.
