Title: opinions on using correct decals for year model
Post by: 20to26 on September 21, 2016, 06:12 PM

Ok here's the issue... I have a GT frame that was used across a number of years of production. But the year my frame is stamped just happens to have the most boring decal design ever to come out of the graphics department in sun baked California...usually I'm set in my ways on something like this but when I inspected the frame closer I realised the year of manufacture wasn't what I thought it was... :police:

...would you just say "sød it, I'm using what ever decals I want" or would you stay true to the year of manufacture?

Then of course it's the issue of can I actually get a set...

So what will it be Rad Builders?

1988 through to 1994 - quite a spread for the particular frame - but the fork dropouts change in 91 and stay the same through to 94.

There's a real simple answer to this.. If you owned it when it came out. What would you have done. I tore the decals off all my bmxs. I see that paul Barlow favoured putting completely the wrong decals on his bikes in the 80s.
