To share some private agony with this (been occupying my mind far too much) I think I'm heading for respraying the seat tube and applying the NOS stickers over the lacquer. The alternative is to wait a while for some one-off reproduction decals - and I rather like the idea of using the originals anyway. And, hey, I'm going to use this bike as much as I can at Herne Hill so maybe I'll get the repros done in time for the next resto...
