Post by: adammannering on September 02, 2013, 07:07 AM: looks great - im doing one as well....

I'm applying the decals today - do you have the measurements to apply the main ' pk ripper' sticker from the headset tube ?

I want to get it right, .....or should I just use the force ? ::)

Look in the museum section and use that as a reference, you'll not be wrong if you put them further up the down tube as many we're high especially some of the earlier ones. I have a 79 with original decals and they are really close to the gusset.

Post by: pickle on September 02, 2013, 10:02 AM: Yeah i'm sure back then they never measured each one, just the use of the old 'Charles Ingles eye' :daumenhoch:
