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!
