Title: Help finding Tioga Ad / Decal Pics
Post by: monkian on February 01, 2011, 04:51 PM: I can't remember where I found this but I'd love to get hold of the whole ad and / or the magazine date / details.
It'll be helpful to date the Tange logos used. Also any pics of those frame decals (if they ever existed in that configuration) would be awesome.

Thanks in advance, Paul :daumenhoch:

I'm sorted with a set of those forks but there's always room for another set :coolsmiley:
I think the Tioga Catalogue is more likely a bit later than 1980 but it's the only other place I've seen those Charge decals ???
Most of them tend to look like this (thanks to Nick for the pic):

Post by: monkian on February 02, 2011, 11:21 AM: YESSSSS, awesome. Thanks man :4_17_5:
Much appreciated :)

I'm now thinking the decals probably didn't exist and it was only laid out like that in the ad for illustration purposes.
Found some unusual decals for the forks though:
