i'm seriously thinking about taking mikes advice and passing the decals set over,

Joe, the SBC sticker in the top left hand corner of Laz's toolbox is the style of sticker the original Bicycle Moto Cross Stickers were. My dark grey BMX originally came with green stickers which looked crap, so I bought a second set in red when I picked up the frame from Custom Riders and changed them straight away. Maybe Custom Riders still have some as I can't imagine many people owned Standard Bicycle Moto Cross frames in the mid-90s (I only ever knew one other person with one and he bought it in America).

This was my 94 Bicycle Motocross the original stickers simply said Bicycle Motocross on the downtube and the headtube sticker was the same as the first generation STA sticker....

......the rounder lettering stickers on the right were later (96)

I'm sure i have a pic somewhere, i'll look it out...

harris · « **Reply #30 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:40 PM »

i have this type of set somewhere ,so i can get some re done if i have to .the ones that i carefully took of.

a tad hard to make out.

dialledbikes · « **Reply #31 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:40 PM »

Yep, mine was a 96 Laz and had those blue style stickers but in green, then red.

I do recall the ones which just said Bicycle Moto Cross on the down tube from the back page of Snap mag. Never saw one in the flesh though.

Lazarou · « **Reply #32 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:42 PM »

Yeah, like you say they were pretty rare over here to say the least!

harris · « **Reply #33 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:45 PM »

i think ygt has some pretty rare standard decals .

Lazarou · « **Reply #34 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:49 PM »

That pic i put up is of YGT's decals, i'm after a first gen. STA set like the ones on the left of the pic.

Lazarou · « **Reply #35 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:54 PM »

....but i'm also after ANY other Standard stickers. You could say i'm a fan, look at my leg!

SaMAlex · « **Reply #36 on:** July 10, 2007, 02:57 PM »

Ah, but thats a 3rd gen Lazarou leg. The decals on the 2nd were much better! I prefered them to the decals on the 1st Gen Lazarou Leg, but there were only a few of them made, and most of those broke!

nice ink laz

would folk be interested in a set if i have some of these done?
cheers laz

that bicycle motocross is a peach, so is the sta dan

that caustic soda shit scares me! i'll be honest!

how long does it take to eat the alloy?
why doesnt it affect the steel?

were going to have a look at pulling it tonight, i'm drilling a hole in the top f the post to put a bar through,

i thought about roping the frame to something solid and putting the winch on it! the risk of tearing the frame apart isnt worth it though

its been soaking in diesel all night so.....

,,,, i'll let you know how we go on

harris · « **Reply #44 on:** July 10, 2007, 03:31 PM »

the costic is quit fast and easy to use ,and doesnt affect the steel.just dont inhale or get hear your eyes
drill out as much as poss it will speed up the job.
and yes im up for a set of the decals as would a few others

what bike are they for papa sta?

Lazarou · « **Reply #46 on:** July 10, 2007, 04:56 PM »

Yep, i've got one and another on the way, i'm really into getting some stickers done and it would be cool to share the cost but to be honest i'd prefer screenprinted over laser cut and would be prepared to pay more.

.....and i need more stickies for my cruiser.....

darkersomeday · « **Reply #47 on:** July 10, 2007, 09:33 PM »

with a quite large great fook off vice, and me stood on the bench its finally let go

SaMAlex · « **Reply #48 on:** July 10, 2007, 09:49 PM »

Thats almost the end of the backwards steps. Just the paint and then its forwards all the way!

Lookin good

darkersomeday · « **Reply #49 on:** July 10, 2007, 11:27 PM »

there was like 1 layer of paint on it so i couldnt resist!

theres a few scabby patches but its in good shape, no cracks, bends or re-welds, just a tiny dent on the inside c-stay,
the odd thing is the headtube has 2 stainless steel rings pressed onto it , top and bottom, where a more modern headtube would be machined

next up!

re-chrome?
powder?

last pic for a while

i promise
