Bontrager Race Lite rebuild, interesting history...

[Elfman]

I had the rasta seat on a 26" Santa Cruz Superlight. I sold the Superlight but kept the seat and found the Bontrager on eBay. I put Mavic/Bullseye wheel set, Tange Switchblade fork and Hunter Cycles Smooth Move bars on. Frame decal was in bad shape so ordered a replacement through Velocals which is now permanently closed. If anyone has a resource for frame decals, I would appreciate a recommendation. Here are some pics.

Nice ride. Gil from retrodecals has the Bontrager panels. With velocals closed, not sure where else to get them.

We really should have a (California, at least) US-based Retrobikers get-together at some point...

So what was the response to your vintage get together besides mine

Nothing yet, although none of us arranged anything. But now that I have a ridable bike (not the bonty unfortunately), maybe we should try.
