nice aluminum powerlite trulyodd.i think it may be a little bit more mid school like around 95-97.it looks light!.

i desperately need the decals. i need the one for the toptube that says p61 al 

i have two of the 94 p61 al framesets.both were built in the month of october. these were the first year they came out. 21"tt and 75 degree headtube angle.  i rode one in 94 when they first came out. one of my favorite bikes ever and that's why i found a frame set on ebay to work on. been a little lazy but i'll get around to it sooner or later.

ive been looking for that decal too jth but without the red.

where are all the old school powerlites ?  i know they are out there . post em up .

no steel wool please . man what is up with people using that crap ? no matter how fine it will take it toll on the chrome . i build custom cars for a living . i use a lot of parts that are not made anymore . and not reproduced . and i able 9 out of 10 times to bring the part back to life . one guy though i had his dash cluster re plated and i had not . ask me on sunday at the ride about what to do . please no steel wool . i beg you ...... bad a$$ powerlite tho man . i love it ....

im still learning about it myself.i think it is a miracle but im not sure what kind of chrome you're using it on.i wouldn't use it on something i know is chrome PLATED but i know on my cro-moly powerlite it takes off all the imperfections(dirt,rust,flecks of junk) maybe except slight scratches but those get buffed out.i'll post up pics later of my 24 today you're gonna flip out.
