Hi Jim,

If you are looking for someone who has replacements for these, I've never seen them. If you want pictures, I can make pictures of mine. It may be that between the various pictures you can get someone to replicate the decals. I don't know of anyone who is replicating head badges like this one.

I can also fill you in on what the original equipment on these was, if you are trying to match that. I'm the original owner of one of these. And though mine has had much replaced, I think I can remember what was there before I started replacing stuff.

> Hi all: I am the proud owner of a rare Araya Criterium Rex touring bike frame and fork. The frame has been totally stripped of its paint and deacls as well as head badge before I bought it. The seller was able to provide serial numbers very readily so it sort of erased my suspicion involving any type of theft. Now I am in the rebuilding mode with this frame and looking for the frame details. Does anyone have a line on the decals for this as well as the head badge? I can provide some photos, I think. This bike is very rare like I said, at least as far as I can tell since I have had a tough time identifying it when I originally got it (thanks Monty for your help). I do currently have the frame on eBay but the decal and head badge are a totally different story. Please let me know what you all think. Seeya
