ITM 400 11 stem, Pro 260 b ars 42

The decals on mine are really thick and I doubt there are clear coat on them. Or mayby an extremely thin coat...

No clearcoat

None of the decals appear to be clearcoated. Some of them are peeling a bit. Particularly the Master decals on the top tube.

I love riding my gilco master profile frame.
Looks like Mavic endorsed at one time.
Nice to use up parts from the bin.
Happy trails!

Yes, the Mavic stickers are old! I was worried about removing paint if I tried to remove them, so I left them alone.
