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.

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 :daumenhoch:




stay tuned for the next installment ;)
