You mean when they went to huge downtubes and still made the letters wrap halfway around them? And then add smaller ones on the fork, top tube, and stays? Maximize advertising space, I guess.


To be fair, "long" is subjective, and I feel like we just came out of a good stretch of time where stealth and black everything was in style. But I do remember early carbon wheels. Heck, one guy at the track made spiral decals for his disc that just about hypnotized everybody watching!
