My 1980/81 Made in Japan Raleigh Competition GS has a pretty nice original paint job, but it looks as though someone polished off the original decals. Oh, they are still there but they are so faded that you really have to look to see them.
I want to replace them, but no one seems to sell the decals for this era. I like the earlier decals, but of course they are not only the wrong decals, but they say "Made in England" in numerous places.
My dilemma, put on the wrong decals and be very happy with the looks, or keep it the way it is, a kinda generic looking plain black bike, but authentic.
Sooner or later I will sell it, (everythings for sale!), and then the "Made in England" decals could cause confusion and maybe accusations of fraud! I certainly would disclose it's true heritage, but it still looks weird!
Opinions?
