Title: Are they really like this ?
Post by: hunterdubber on May 26, 2012, 07:45 AM

I have a set of 1984 REDLINE PL20 decals which have been re produced by Redline apprarently  ???



Great decs but the seattube decas aren't handed (left and right )
but I don't whether they were or not  originall handed for an 84

but I keep thinking they should be handed like the ones on the 1985 PL20 set Redline also re produce

The guy who replies on the Oz thread has it wrong the grey end is at the top towards the clamp not the BB, so the writing is till at the top

but the fact is it looks like it's facing the front on the drive side and facing the rear on the other



So have they got it right  or wrong  ???

Do you know otherwise  :)

Hey buddy... all the SBS Re-issue Redline Decals are inaccurate and those should definitely be handed. For example their Prostyler decals won't even fit on the seatube  :uglystupid2:

When I correctly reproduced some Redline decals i was threatened by them with a lawsuit. I even offered to do all their artwork correctly FREE OF CHARGE but they weren't interested. :idiot2:

Thank you God bless and have a great day!
