Subject: [CR]Crescent Decal Question for Garrison Hilliard

Garrson and Group, I have a 1970 Crescent. It has a bunch of decals in Swedish. I contacted the Crescent factory and following is their explanation of the decals. My hard drive crashed but I printed a hard copy of Crescent’s e-mail, I will type it just as reads: Hallo Randall I have read your e-mail to Tommy about Your Crescent-bike. The frame No: 4554887 says thate the bicycle is produced about 1970. Reynolds 531 Butted tubes: that means that the top and down tube hade a thickness In the middle of the tubes 0,5mm and at the head tube 0,8mm. The decal: guld kvälitet = goldqualitet. The decal: Crescent världsmästarcykeln = Crescent worldchampion bicycle. The decal: lättägängslager = "easy going bearing" The name Välrldsmästärcykeln (worldchampions bicycle) came from a world Champion in team on bicycle there Crecsent had four brothers from a little place in Sweden called Värgärda. They came at the first place on this Crescent bikes and they was worldchampions, I think is was about 1968-69. If You send me your adress, I shall send You same decals. In this e-mail I enclosed a photo on a Crescent racebike from 1968. (See Attached file: Crescent racer year mod 1968.jpg) Regards James Johansson QC Dept.
