USCF sticker.....

[learlove]

does anyone know where I can get the old style USCF sticker? Does any one have one (or more they'd like to sell?

Thanks - my current one is wearing badly on my flight bag and I'd like to replace it.

I raced for 15 years, got one each year, never used any of them. I'll check what I have. If I have one, it's yours - I'll even pay for the stamp.

If you turn up more than one, I'll trade you a Serotta Forum sticker for one. I found what is likely the last one in my parts drawer the other day.

With the advent of affordable GPS units the USCF no longer felt the need to send the sticker out with your lisence every year.

I never bothered to look at a map to figure out how to get to a race venue, I just got on the Mass Pike and looked for a car witha roofrack and sticker on itand followed it to the race. One of the funniest things I ever saw was a line of what must have been 20 cars including all the Coors Light team cars making U turns in parking lots and gas station looking for the start of the circuit race the first year that Fitchburg went to it's present stage/omnium format.

I may have one you can have. I'll check my sticker collection at home tonight.

yeah the good thing is the highways are always clear at 7am on a saturday so it was easy to spot the typical racer's VW rabbit or volvo wagon with the rack sticker to follow.

when I was 15 (obviously before I could drive) my mom was kind enough to drive me to the PA state championships that year somewhere west of Reading PA. lost on 422 we spotted a handa crx (if I remember correctly) and followed. he must have been lost too and almost missed an exit and swerved across several lanes to make it. following closely behind i though there was no way my mom would do that. but yep, she got that volovo sidways at 70 plus and kept it in a controlled skid all the way to the off ramp. Man to that point in my life I never though a 39 year old nurse and mother of 2 could do something like that.

LOL! Great memories of being the "lead" car that everyone was following and doing all sorts of U-turns and other erratic behaviors, only to have the whole parade try to follow. Was the CRX white, by any chance?

[learlove]

thanks to all who offered. I have one on the way.

Ah, the Honda CRX. Perfect bike racer car for the couple who raced together. Could fit two bikes, two people and nothing else. Bike racers are mostly known for bumming rides off people (the same could be said for many sports), so owning a CRX means always having the perfect excuse - two seats, two people, sorry dude! At Killington I had one guy bum a ride from Bear mountain back to the condo at the top of the access road. He said he could fit in the back, but his face was inches from the hatch. The road between those two points is unpaved and I was going kinda fast and aiming for potholes. If the race didn't hurt him, the ride home certainly did...

[Bill Bove]

Oh man, Killington. I used to have a three cylander Geo Metro 4 door. Four guys with four bikes on the roof, that car went uphill so slow I swear we could have ridden up it faster, VeeDub buses were passing us and honking their horns and waving their fists :crap: Pucci used to throw peanuts in the open windows to feed the squirrell under to hood...

[learlove]

got mine in the mail from C50 yesterday. Thanks to C50 and all others that offered.

[avalonracing]

I always like the old sticker too. When the went to that lame star I thought ***?

I also used the stickers to find my way to the races.

Those forum stickers are, after all, the sweetest things . . . :rolleyes:

Since that is no longer the official logo are we able to reproduce some without legal issues? Back in the mid 90's a local guy here in SoCal made some small , 1", decals with permission from USCF that looked good on the seat tubes of my bikes.
Still have on on my Legend. Maybe someone has a resource for some?

[avalonracing]

I did know a girl who raced in the mid-Atlantic who changed the USCF to FUCS and put the sticker on the car.

[johnnymossville]

I guess if you wanted, you could print your own on an inkjet using decal or sticker paper. Here's a link to a PDF file of the logo. Print Quality.

I think the rights to that logo belong to Rober George, the photographer who started VeloNews (Northeast Cycling news back then).

[Ti Designs]

OK, for extra credit (and a 1982 Campy shop catalog which I found along with my collection of stickers), who is the rider in the logo?

That's pretty amazing you know who it is. hmmmm. I'm going to take a really wild stab at it though. John Howard?

[avalonracing]

Phinney?

Yeah, Who could that be? LOL

Right team, wrong rider. The photo was taken with the sun behind the rider, the glare behind the far leg makes it look that way. I've asked John Allis if he could dig up the picture.

[johnnymossville]

Wayne Stetina?

[dvs cycles]

Which direction is the rider traveling?
I've always seen it as he is coming towards us not away from us.
After your left leg comment I can see it both ways. :confused:

There was a PBS documentery that followed the CRC team in a canadian stage race in 1974 called "The Race for the Yellow Jersey". Small parts of that footage showed up on a video piece on Velo News called "The Raleigh Boys". Anyway, if you watch the film you can guess who it is by process of elimination. I have a copy on VHS but I can make a copy on DVD if people on the forum want to pass it along...

[Bill Bove]

I got on DVD too. Still a blast to watch.

Bobby Philips?
