PK Ripper Decals question....

<< < (2/3) > >>

kungfunky:
Can't help you with the 26" decals as its not my era.
As for the decals on let's say pre 85 frames there are a few different versions.
 First up the fat shadow slightly different font 79 decal which was in both solid decal for both sides and split (separate one each side) these were usually placed high up the frame.
Solid no shadow decal in sheet form and rub on,
Standard decal which you see on pretty much all refinished PK's and was standard from late 80 onwards was sheet form.
Short period split decals from late 79 to early 80 on some but not all bikes, agar usually placed high up the down tube.

Not sure if any of this dribble helps your cause  :LolLolLolLol:

factory pilot:
So Ash what was most common on most 84s ... Shadow or no shadow ( solid or rub on ? ) ?
Cheers in advance mate  :daumenhoch:

kungfunky:
Solid.
Depends which colour the frame was, most colours had both shadow and non shadow decals but the more popular were shadow.

Cheers for the info Ash.
I only ask as I am sure back in the 80s I saw Rippers with rub on Decals on the downtube,and wondered if this was the norm.
Now I am confused and not sure what to go for lol....

kungfunky:
i wouldn't be over concerned mate if it's not original finish. If your replacing decals on an original finish frame then genuine decals for me.
