Here's pics of mine...

I just picked up a 92 complete. But mine also doesnt have stickers. Your lucky though. A guy from France sells repops on ebay and he has two that will work with your bike. One in Solid Blue and the other was Solid Red I think. But both had the cool modern ELF logo that went with your year.
Unfortunately I need to find the old style in blue. If I ever do I will post pics of the finished bike here.

I read thru that thread before and didnt see your style decals for sale in there. I just looked again, nothing. Am I just blind?

Uh oh, youre right, thats the newer style decals, sorry for the mixup. I got these on the auction site a while back, and I have seen several sets since, I will try to find my info from the seller to see if any more are avail, or could be made, Id actually like to find a spare set of decals too.
Just found these, not sure if they are exact copies though.

LOL thanks. I contacted him as he had the newer style and asked if he had the older style in blue and he said no lol.
I guess his artwork is better then his English. Then again the only French i know is French Fry so color me ignorant lol.
Thanks for the link.

They look perfect except were the originals on chrome paper or clear? Those appear to be on clear paper. Anyone have a chrome bike to tell me if the old style decals were clear or chrome????

I just went to the basement to check out the repops I have, and they seem to have a metallic background, not mirror chrome,, I guess it looks mostly like a brushed, but very bright, polished alum foil ish? if that makes any sense...I think thats kind of what the orignals had. Anyone have an original decal to verify?

I have this 1994 Elf micro mini... I bought it on Ebay with the intentions of stripping it down and sending it to the powdercoater. The bike was described to be in fair to ok condition. I got the bike and after a few hours of elbow grease cleaning and polishing the bike looks amazing. I can't bring myself to send it to pc. I may just hang it on the wall in my sons room or sale/trade it one day...
