De nada.

Finally, I had someone my vinyl decals job done for me.
Some attempts didn't work out, because the design is very detailed and it requires i-cutting. Freehand cutting of vinyl was no option.
All decals have been cut out of white vinyl. It's a combination of filled letters and outlines (less than 1 mm).
Quite some work to make the final artwork (I worked out many versions including colours, printing, multiple layers ink or vinyl, etc) and appearantly not easy to cut.

I've just applied the stuff (clearcoat has to follow) and I'm happy with the result.
It's about 99% of what I had in mind (okay, still the easiest and cheapest version) and it came out nicely IMO.

The coloured Columbus frame and fork decals are home made waterslides (decal paper for a laser printer).
Tried that for the other decals as well, but I removed them, because I got the vinyl thing.
