Hi There,

Can I ask what makes you think this is a 1994? I too have a team issue (1993 or 1994) with the same fork (released in 1993) and don't have much color from original back, apart from this bolt ... Unsure how to rebuild, 1993 or 1994.

Yours is beautiful by the way.

The decals partly have the wrong design (font types), the top tube decals are too small, they have the incorrect original color (lilac instead of plum) AND theyre put out of original position .... bummer!

Let me guess, theyre from dnfive? :-D No, he at least (sometimes) uses the correct color.

Dnfive offer the correct sizes & colours all you have to do is place the correct order.

Yeah they sorted mine looked great. Recommend as long as you can wait for months.

Sorry mate ... I have ordered from DnFive about 15 times in my life already (between 2020 and 2022).

Many (!) decals of him are simply wrong and have weird sizes noone knows where they come from. I assume they were partly "guessed" just by looking at pictures.

I remember when I was restoring my first 1993 Team Issue and I was in constant contact with Ian himself. His top tube font was so incorrect, his down tube main logo size was wrong and I even mneasured all that for him, giving him the correct sizes. He wouldnt bother.

Nowadays, I highly avoid ordering anything from him! Same with GIL - partly sloppy, partly very incorrect (sizes and fonts).

Thanks to that it all started my small business of making all my own decals.

Cheers!
