However, I only had a few of these decals on my frame and so I do not know where the large wings on the left are supposed to go. I've searched through the catalogues but cannot find a picture that uses all of these, only select ones. Maybe I'll just use a few. Also, please note that the color scheme on my frame (including decals) is all custom since it had already been repainted and modified from the original. The frame itself is a 73', but I believe the decals are late 80s.   Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 1:18 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California Those decals aren't going to work with that paint scheme. I would only use the name decals. Is there a reason you decided to use these ones?

I figured the large wings wouldn't work. I picked this set because it matched the set my dad put on this bike years ago (at the time he couldn't find the original foil ones) and I liked the look. I ended up just applying the name decals in the same locations as he did.

How did you do that? _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:31 am aaceve7 Joined: 08 Dec 2014 Posts: 6 Location: Chicago sandranian wrote: The color isn't black, it's red? How did you do that? Yup. I had Greg Softley over at Cyclomondo make me a custom set to match the new paint. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
