do you have this red/yellow fade set for the down tube too?

If not I could lend mine out for scanning so that we can get some others made. That way I would build mine without a re-chrome with repro decals, rather than using originals on a frame that I may later want to get better finished!!

No Worries ( smiling smiley ! lol ) , I saw Woody Allens quote about "era correct ingenuity" & it did'nt quite add up .

Why not? Just thought it looked like the sorta thing you could have put on a PL back then if you wanted to be different or didn't have the dough to buy the usual parts.
Okay it's not a 100% era-correct build but still looks darned nice daumenhoch-type thingy :-)

the only give away for my frame is the BB brace which appeared only 1 year after that sticker set. i reckon i'm close to the mark LOLLOLLOL(or something like that)

if someone does those 1984 sets i'm in for a couple of sets and can trade for a set or 2 with the 1981/82's i've done.
my originals are stored in a safe place and will NEVER be used on a frame.

Frosty i can get them done buuuuuut i'd imagine you'd have some sort of worry sending them to Australia LOL (i am not a used car salesman....trust me LOL)
another alternative is find how many sets people want and split the costs between everyone.

gt0733 · « **Reply #553 on:** January 05, 2008, 12:08 PM »

so is anyone going to do the 1983/84 stickers?

She's finally completed

I ended up topping the build off with a 45t bubble script chainwheel (thanx arnaud m8).
I've had nowhere near the kind of weather needed to get some decent pics taken.
So i'll fire some nice pics up into this thread and then into the museum whenever poss...

What do i think of her

cold thread needs a bit of warming up

i bought this 1981 US made frame/fork a while back and built it as a rider.

the brake bridge was squashed and the drops had a bit of mange.

i recently decided to retire the old girl and build it as a replica of my proline-II from back in it's first guise in 1982. this is one of the very few pics i have of it from back then, i do remember most of the bits that it was built with.

the frame was sent to a frame repairer in Melbourne, Australia, who did a wonderful job on it.

and then a nice friend sent it to the platers and ended up like this. thanks Norm, you're a legend

stay tuned for the next installment
