I don't like the new stickers

Agreed
They look cheap

They look truly awful and so unMBK like too.

Here is a MTB for sale on leboncoin, described as having Reynolds 753 frame.
Is anyone here registered with Leboncoin? I'd be interested to know what marque this is, about the repaint etc to determine whether it's genuinely 753 - as not many 753 frames around. Someone here then may perhaps wish to buy it.

the ad says" L’étiquette Reynolds 753 ne semble pas être d’origine (réemaillage).
Which I presume means the label isn't original, but that doesn't mean the frame isn't 753

I asked the seller yesterday, but he didn't answer me

Well that's not helpful! Perhaps they know something they don't want us to know. The reason to buy it because it's a 753 frame. Shame it doesn't have 753 forks as they ride lovely for rigid forks with a decent amount of "ping" to them. Just don't look down when bombing downhill as the movement can be a bit disconcerting!

That’s a shame. Not good when a seller doesn’t answer simple things about something he’s selling

I asked him again, this time he answered me he doesn't know the marque but he should give me the serial number under the bottom bracket, maybe that will help? Wait & see...

Will be Interesting
Of course it’s been repainted - but surely there’s a reason why the 753 label is there? Unless it is a 753

It's an odd decal/sticker as it should be the simplified 753 version on a frame of this age. 753 was heat treated so could only be joined using low temp brazing either by fillet or using lugs. This is a fully lugged frame so still could be what the label says...
