San, they came on the frame. My previous post was looking for backups. I'll probably restore the frame in a few years when I am done with her. Do you race Livermore NBL?

A handsome steed. Also known as some of the best race cruisers ever made. I wished I had one when I raced CR.

I have the rear at 14 3/4" from center axle to center BB. Top tube is 21 center to center. The chain is a 88 links. This is my first short rear end, taking her to the track tomorrow to settle her in. I never really concerned my self much with how short the rear end was on my rides until I heard others talking of it. Maybe I have been missing out. I hope it will really help with my roller situation, I dont reallly have good manual powers. I have lost that skill years ago.

Badd's are definately short in the back. First time you snap out of the gate you will feel the difference. They want to fly over jumps too. I love mine.
When I restored mine, Sticker mom did some repro stickers for me.

KK - I haven't raced NBL - but you'd see me at Santa Clara or the valley ABA tracks. I was running a BADD 24" last year, but switched out the frame for a new Intense Sniper. They feel pretty much the same except the Intense is stiffer.
The BADD has a great feel to it.

KastanKillector,
The decals on mine are long on the down tube because it spells out "Badd Racing Frames"... It is just a basic outlined letter font. I think it was the first design for this crop of Badd frames, the Badd Revolution series cruisers. Mine is serial numbered 00003.
The decals on yours were one of the last designs that I think were designed by Carl Lein of Big Knobby Squad. The last year Badd was in business, they were BKS's frame sponsor. Carl was designing some stuff for Badd at the time.
