A word of caution (and I'm not joking) the forks on the Patterson are prone to cracking too as the dropouts are very thin and suffer stress loading :daumenhoch: .
BTW, a Patterson needs to be chrome, I don't recall them being available in colours, if re-chroming is not an option sell it to me and I promise to get it rechromed >:D :LolLolLolLol:.
Does it look like this one? You can see what I mean about the dropouts on the forks, I went through two sets bitd and ended up with a pair of Tange Mega Forks as they were practially indestructable :LolLolLolLol:.

I have to say I bought one I used to ride round on as a kid and it was a heap of shite. Heavy as feck, christ knows how they were ever considered anygood as a race bike. Needless to say it got sold pretty sharpish.
Oh here's a picture of it.

The chrome was really bad so I got it powdered Black.

The early Patties were nickel, with the chrome coming in late on the version in the first pic and also the later PR series frames. I don't think the decals on the first pic are correct either, s/b the western font or later block type?
Here's some other snaps of the early one, I have one that is going to need some work by Fuzzy' mate Andy Robinson on the downtube and seat stays!!

They are the same decals as I had on my one back in 1982/3 so I'm pretty certain think they are correct, I've still got the matching jersey too which has the same font :daumenhoch:

I'd love to get another of these fantastic frames but they are truly rocking horse doo doo ;)

Marty you must have had one of the last of the early long frames with those decals, which I think are the PR series ones.
There were some other decals in between the western style ones, you can just make them out on the racing pic, I just found some other pics too.
'
Must admit though it is good news if yours came with those decals, as they are the only ones I have sourced for my build :daumenhoch:

Pete, Lord GMAC bought it I think, he had it at MK last year :daumenhoch: Mind you in that pic you can really see how short Zippy is when it's put up against a proper sized bike :LolLolLolLol:

Paul, I think they used whatever decals they had around at the time :LolLolLolLol: Seriously though, I think the first set of decals you have would look mighty fine on it. if you are not sure, give me the frame and i will take care of it :LolLolLolLol:

Marty,
I wish they were my decals, they are pics from one of the other sites!! I have the same decals and pads that you have.
