Funk Gs Decals

Having owned both a Durango and a Force GS (at the same time) the decals were very different sizes. Remember these weren’t mass produced. I know our resident Funk collector @Swede worked on some decals too
My Durango had that ‘engineered’ decal on the seat tube. .. same as the fork detail
 
Could you post some more photos? My Force Gs has square chainstays which make me think yours could a Force G. Not that I would put too much faith in it but according to the ‘93 catalogue the Force G was made from Columbus Altec OR tubing. That has different diameters to Easton Varilite, so it would be good to make some comparisons.

It's definatly Easton Varilite I tried to can a pic of the stamping. This stamping shows up in a few different spots on the main triangle. It never had any decals on the top tube. The bike shop it came from told me it was a factory race team members frame that was never built up. Maybe a preproduction or prototype? If memory serves right, it was purchased around 92-93 era. It also doesn't have the Funk name by the rear axle like I've seen in a lot of the pics.

Very nice! If you get bored you know where I am…😉

Based on your dates I think you’re into Force G territory, plus I think the “s” in the Gs means the stays have an S bend. IMG_1027.webp

This one (Force G) has the straighter stays and the dropout doesn’t (yet) have the Funk text. IMG_0665.webp IMG_0662.webp

Interesting, must be they had few odd ball ones being a small shop at the time. It was a blast to ride, can't wait to get it dirty on the trails this year. I'm sure everone will look at me weird with these small 26" tires. Lol
 
I’ve been looking at my photos of the Force G (round stays & no “s”bends) frames and none of them have a decal on the top tube. I guess this was done for the ‘94 range.

Will you be adding a build thread?

I will add a build thread with a little more history of the bike.
