Hi, I am building a 1980 Hotfoot and am wanting some stickers. I would also be happy if someone could just post some close up photos of the stickers and i could copy them.

Thanks,

Flea

Hi - I have a battered Hotfoot decal on my bike. It is 1 Nov 2010 now. I will take some pics and measure it and post it this week sometime. Hotfoot. This is one cool bike to ride BTW!

Hi Flea - here is a description of the decals on the Repco Hotfoot. I have emailed you the photos because there seems to be a limit of only 128 kb for attachments to this forum which is miniscule! I will try posting 3 replies to get all the photos on this forum so check below. Cheers.

Measurements are approximate because the decals are difficult to measure. A piece of paper was wrapped around the tube then the paper was marked and then flattened and measured with a vernier.

Repco, what is the serial number on this frame, will start GO.... on the right rear drop out i think. It looks like a team frame. Does it have aero tubing? You can get repop stickers for these off a bloke called Glynn Hicks (Hicks Sign Co.) in Brisbane. The scans he has are my originals that I sent. Make sure you ask for Hotfoot Team stickers cause I can bet you will get the wrong ones, I have seen too many getting around stickered wrong.
