greetings. the previous owner took the logos off of everything except the head tube and the handlebars .. and the original decals for this are pink so yeah - if I can find a set I will def put them back on here ( maybe not the splashy ' made in canada' decal though - that one's just a little but much for me and I live across the water from where this was made in '92 so I don't need the reminder ;) i will update the photos very soon now that I have acquired the last piece of XTR for it ..
