Okay guys, I got my hat in my hand here; I got some new decal orders I'm having some trouble rooting up reference pics for:
Benetto 3000
Urago (unknown model)
Follis (also unknown model)
Already been to CR; need something beyond that.
Also, I have to recreate the horribly complicated 'Handmade by Tom Ritchey' decal. If anybody's got an image of one that's either flat, or shot at a perpendicular angle, it'd sure be helpful.
Still striking out on Raleigh Rodeo images, too.

It now has a search feature, saw a Urago there, I think in the VR5 bikeshow images and L'eroica
Follis is a problem, the cheapies had foil backed transfers like early 70's Gitane, the better ones had transfers, the downtube was kind of like a Times Roman with a gap and a thin black outline that floated around the letterforms, typography in blue (sometimes white), slightly condensed, perhaps 80% of "normal". Seattube text was stacked. These bikeswre very date dependent on what they came through with.

Mswantak, I have a Urago, seventies I think, I'd be willing to photo the decals for you. Don't know if they'd be proper; I've seen a couple of versions.

Pogue, that'd be great. In both cases the owners themselves don't really know what decals came on their bikes. The Urago guy thinks his bike is a '50s model, but I'd like to have any reference images on it I can get. Likewise with the Follis; the owner sent me a link to the Follis ad in the CR gallery, which clearly shouldn't be a downtube decal. Anything you can send me I'll be glad to get.

I have a Follis too. I'll be back home Friday - let me know if you need anything more than Pogue sends you.
