hi Bro.. I got the frame set look like yours.. I still confused it is real gary fisher AL 1 or not because if i searching about AL 1 it don't has mount rack. can you tell me the serial number of your AL1 and it's mine real gary fisher..? please help me to identified. thank you.I'm currently restoring my 1990 Gary Fisher AL-1 (Bottom photo)
I bought it in 1992 with the paint stripped off and with black Answer Accu-trax forks, which looked cool for 25 years but I decided to paint and restore it, although not to original spec (I don't like the colours)
I decided to powder coat the frame, forks and stem in bright red instead of the original turquoise or royal blue, I have no idea which colour mine was originally.
There aren't any decals from that period for sale on the internet, the name Fisher is integrated in front of a graphical mountain background
From 1991 the full Gary Fisher name was used with the same style of background.
I bought some modern Gary Fisher stickers from the final generation before Trek stopped the brand and did a Photoshop sketch (below)
I work in design and am starting to get the hang of using Adobe Illustrator which is the software Graphic designers use to create bike stickers. I was thinking that it would look better if I recreated the original graphics digitally so that I could send the veector file to a sticker specialist for printing. I have been collecting images from the internet however the results won't be the most accurate which is why I started this thread.
If you own or know someone who owns a Gary Fisher from 1989-90 would it be possible for you to trace the logos with tracing paper, add dimensions and then scan them? I will create a vector file so that it will be available for everyone who want's to restore their bike.
It's mainly the down tube "Fisher" logo that I need a tracing and dimensions for.
I can recreate the head/seat tube badge easily but I need the correct dimensions.
There is the 7005 aluminium sticker to recreate too (I worked out that it measures 35 x 75 mm, is that right?)
Then the final little "Made in Japan, designed by Gary Fisher" sticker dimensions will be useful.
If you can help that'd be great!

It certainly looks like the same frame as mine apart from those luggage rack mounts, perhaps a frame builder added them later, that would also explain the reason for the stripped paint. If you look at all the Gary Fishers from around 1990, I don't think any had those mounts fitted straight from the factory.

I was wondering the same thing. Do you happen to have the adobe file for those stickers still?
Did you ever receive that file?

Contact Retrodecals, I understand that you can get the stickers you require from there.
