hi guys
Ok I got an 82 Patterson pro and it has the older style decals... I need some fork decals but prefer the slightly newer white backed orange writing decals....
When did the decals change and any pics of fork decals on earlier ones ??
Thanks
-
did you just snag that one on the bay?'the 82 pro??
patty changed to the white background decals for the pr series which was 1983
-

Thanks mate... Yeah bought that one but it's his mates listing so he's not cancelled it yet so don't buy it lol :LolLolLolLol:

im 99% sure that's my old one.if so it has redline forks which are still kind of correct. when patty first sprung up they only made frames so used a speedo fork,they then changed to a redline proline microline fork then made their own which are identical to the redline except the redlines have a rounder shoulder,youd be pushed to tell the differance

I sold mine to paul fraser(db250) who was building it for a chap near brighton,that would have been 4 years ago.i scored the frame on its own and had it rechromed and managed to get the froks here about a week after buying the frame,what are the chances of that!!the early pattys are awesome and in my opinion proper collectors pieces,i sold that one only because I managed to get a Patty long just after

I think these are the best decals,the last of the pattys pre pr series,late 82/early 83 the newer and best font but without the white background

I'm with Mark here (btw Mark, that bike above is one of my all-time favourite builds, period!!!), that Patty deserves correct-era decals not the later PR ones. Don't get me wrong, I like the latter but the older ones are a simpler design, which imo better matches the frameset. If you haven't already guessed, this is by far my favourite era of Patty! Although I like the late-70s and PR-series ones, the lines of the early 80s frames really do it for me! :smitten:
So is this one of the Trackmaster-built fames? In any case, am looking forward to the build thread!!! :daumenhoch:

Nice one! Btw, did you see that Spen was selling an orange lever cover for a quid. Not sure what colour scheme you're going with but that would look great with those decals! :daumenhoch:
Anyway, I'll stop stalking you and your Patty now, and will wait patiently for the build thread! :D
