good call Sam ... I nearly put them on the cruiser .. But in that case they should go on the 81 :daumenhoch:

It will be a shame just to keep them in the bag , but wrong to use them ..
Nothing should be too precious to use ?

Unless you have a complete survivor how many bikes have og decals ... ???

Carl doesn't know the meaning of 'last build' :D

Stick the NOS ones on your favourite or in a frame in the Robo room (rooms :D)

Post by: hunterdubber on December 15, 2012, 09:17 AM: If it 's nice survivor , and you aren't ever going to re do it , I'd use the NOS set Carl

So it's still 100% genuine factory finish

By using them,,, you still keep the stickers , they just move to a Frameset , where they should be :coolsmiley:

LOL at Joff,,,true mate I've never seen that room ,,,with err ,,so much room either :LolLolLolLol:

Good choice ! They'll look better on the bike than stuck in a drawer/on a shelf. :daumenhoch:

Post by: In2 bmx on December 16, 2012, 02:06 PM: Well it's done :daumenhoch:
I had to heat them on the 30 year old glue isn't the best ...

Something you don't see often ... A 32 year old frame in original condition with 30 year old decals ... :smitten:

I'm pleased I did it .... And being a Scott Clark model it deserves them :daumenhoch:
