Sun Snipe Plus decals assistance please

[jamesc]

Hi all,

I'm restoring a Sun Snipe Plus and trying to keep it as original as possible. Haven't managed to track down replacement decals for a Snipe Plus but wondering if anyone has some decent pics of them that could be used to make new ones? The seat tube one seems the hardest to get closeup's of.

Or any direction in how to go about this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks so much Spokesmann!

The pics on the ebay add are a great help to show the original designs for reproduction. Actually looks like a pretty decent bike, just far to ship to SA.

When I started my search I actually came across your blogs and pics of your Prestige, she's a beaut!

Ha ha! I was bleak I couldn't grab that one... When I saw it sold at asking I wondered if you were the lucky new owner, there's another one in rough shape that closes today. Offered for a fixie project which would be a pity...

You plan to keep it original? I may ask you to send better pics of the decals on the seat tube if you wouldn't mind. Can then get guys to reproduce them all properly

Yes I will send images when it arrived, which won't be until next week, as I will be away for most of this week and next. I plan to keep it as original as pebble, bar changing the saddle for a nice Wrights W3N I have in store here and remove that awful tape. May well replace the allen key stem too. More soon!

Awesome, thanks! Sounds like you really are going to do her justice which is great, kills me when people cannabalise these good quality old bikes. Cool well look forward to chatting soon
