NOS shifter from steve and repro shifter decals I had made. the seat stem decals I made myself the upper decal I drew on autocad, printed on avery decal printer paper then cut out and stuck to a larger sheet of decal backer then stuck over it a clear decal laminate, trimmed it to an 1/8 over the avery decal paper and stuck it on the bike. The BMA decal, I could had gotten NOS but felt it would be a waste of a rare decal on this type of project so I found a picture on the 'net sized it and printed it the same way as the upper stem decal if you look close its not perfect but good enough for me. Also one of my T-handle decals I made by taking a photo of my good one sizing it correctly, printing it at Walgreens, then I cut it out and super glued it to the shift handle. Hey gotta keep my stuff on a low budget!

Thanks all for the nice comments, the two bikes are what they are thanks to this site and the people on it .
about the white seat, I had a co-workers ex-wife redo it for me, she was nice enough to only charge me $30 for it,
then the black seated bike kind of landed in my lap and she redid that one for the same deal but told me absolutely no more bike seats,
which I'm good with as I thought it to be as far as one could stretch the "redneck connection" by involving deals with peoples ex-wives.
The decals I did have made were also thru a co-worker for free, my powder coating and chroming was done by a friend's brother kind of for free too.
It always pays to keep in touch with people and help them out the same and let it come full circle.
Now I just have to wait for the little dudes to grow up some so they can use the bikes.
