Orbit decals
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the market for a Gold Medal - we have one in the family already that was bought brand new in the mid-80s and I'd like to get a stablemate for it.
Wondered if anyone could give me an idea of when the 'Orbit' transfers / decals changed from the original script / handwritten style to the more modern and flamboyant upper case font. (The 'Gold Medal' name remained in the old font).
I'm guessing it must have been somewhere between '85 and '88, as the 1988 Orbit catalogue features the new font. But if anyone could put a year on it I'd be very interested to know.
I'm, ideally, after a bike in the older style, but they're not that easy to come by.
Cheers!
