The 1990 model year is defined by its distinctive combination of vibrant neon accents and a brushed aluminum frame finish. Decal Set Features The visual design features multi-colored abstract artwork background panels designed to complement neon and brushed aluminum surfaces, carrying the bold alpinestars usa and AL-MEGA dx logotypes. The graphic layout incorporates period-correct frame typography, such as the MNT. XROSS model callouts, the TWENTY ONE SPEED drivetrain labels, and specific material callouts (CR-MO Blades, Aluminum Stays, Aluminum Mega Tubing). The overall composition is styled after the factory themes of the 1990 frameset.
