That's right, I have searched Hi and Low for years and cannot find these decals. If you can help me find these 4 decals, I will pay you $50. I've looked (on & off) for years and now that I have the bike completely done, I need these to finish it off. It's a set of the frame stickers and the 2 rear ones. This is the closest set I've found; only I need them with a black letters... not white. Most (all) of the sets I see on various sites/ebay only say REDLINE and don’t have the SERIES THREE on them. Nor do these sets come with the 2 small decals that go on the back. This is for a Redline 600a, but I believe the same decals came on 500a's and possibly others. I bought the white ones in hopes that I could bring them to a sign shop to use as a guide and re-produce them in black. It's a little hard to read the white lettering, but the frame sticker says SERIES THREE and the little ones say REDLINE ALL CHROMOLY. I'm also attaching a scan from a 500a set that shows what they look like in black.
BTW... I did drop these off at a local sign shop...got the run around for 2 mo's before they kindly told me they couldn't do it. Basically said that he couldn't find an exact copy of the font and that he had problems scanning them in due to the glare. Before I try another shop, I figured I'd give this a shot.

Thanks guys... Rob (JKLNHE) had a great lead, but the guy used one of the sets and sold the other.
Nick, I'll call callie graphics on Monday. If possible, I'd like to get NOS decals, but beggers can't be choosers and I'm running out of patience. I'll let you know how it works out.

Wish I could give you these:

If you have some made, I'm interested too. Mine is a 102b and most of the decals are toast.

You just don't know what I would give for a set of them right now! Have you been looking for them to?

From the sound of it, not nearly as intensively as you have, but yes.

Did u check seattle bike supply online catalog, they may have them. Any decent sign shop could reproduce those. The font issue is a non-issue, pretty easy

Just took a look at their site but didn't see any. I actually found a guy who had 2 sets of the decals and bought them both. I just sent him the payment yesterday, so I should get them some time next week.
Just before I contacted him I found sign shop to re-create the decals. In order to get around the font issue, I scanned in the white text decals and traced (drew each letter) in AutoCAD... then converted the file to a .pdf. The shop it on the decal. This was it saves them time and I know it's perfect! I saw one of the samples 2 days ago and it looked pretty good. The red & yellow weren't as bight and the gradient was more like a fade, but still pretty nice. So I asked him to play around with the colors and print me out 10 sets. So right now, I don't have anything in my hands, but I have 2 NOS sets and 10 repro's on the way.

Well, I finally found 2 sets. I am in the process of getting the frame decals reproduced, so if anyone is interested in buying a set, send me a PM.
Thanks again to all who helped me try to find these!!!
Here's a pic...
