any Vintage Foes guru's in here?

[LeeDevelopment]

mine were sorted via Foes USA, seemed to be Foes specific.... you can always drop Brent a line by email, they're still around.

Re:

ok, on to the next issue, I have contacted Foes concerning the air shock question, and meanwhile have purchased a air shock from a guy on here that took it off a weasel so im covered. also purchased a set of yellow magura racelines as well.
now my ocd is wailing at me because the head tube badge is missing and im having difficulty locating even a picture via my old pal google.

I have emailed foes about the possibility of a replacement or a modern badge to purchase, waiting on them for now.
anybody have a pic of a LTS head badge ?

thanks

Mine was a sticker and not a metal badge as such.

yes, this pic is the best I have seen: https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/14936679/

and free-ride.it has a sticker set with this style curved badge in the photos, its for a 275 but that's ok, i have emailed them asking if they ship to the states.

here is photo of badge and decals:

Each to their own but personally I would not use those as they're way too new. See of Gil_m has any copies of the period correct ones.

Re:

Not using the decals, but that curved “F” seems the same as the pinkbike link

You can just about see the headtube logo here.... (not mine, pinched this off Google images)

ok I saved and resized that pic to get a better look, it does indeed seem to be a flat sticker, metalized or foil [ not sure of the proper description ], Foes returned my email and are sending me a modern one, I guess like the one from the italian firms sticker refresh.....it will have to do until I can get with GilM and see if he has a file for the old style and I don't even know if he does that foil style, but I have his email

thanks for the assistance for sure

Re:

Dug out my old Weasel frame (well, half of it ) last night to check the headtube badge. Mine has a white stylised letter F with 'Fab' 'Foes' 'Racing' cut into it. I'll take a photo tomorrow.
