Looks very nice, liking the colourway, good mix with the blue white walls  :daumenhoch:

I'd pull those bars back a bit, way too far far forward, might want to put the ones you got with it on there, they look much better IMHO

No worries on the stem but if you do change your mind . . . ;)

As for the decals, I'm no DP expert but I'm sure someone here can point you in the right direction . . . sorry  :-[

I made my own scanned from the originals, but I could probably make some rub on vinyl ones if i get the time.

nope not me. The ones on that f&f are not rub on's, they're laser printed on clear vinyl (copied from the originals) but I could cut some  out of black vinyl. PM if you get stuck and not too much of a rush

Just find a sign manufacturer suppliers and they should sell you it per metre.

you can, but its a big thick and its not very glossy plus the ink rubs off, so what you do is cover it with another layer of clear vinyl... it works well but if the frame is white you may notice the inkjet/laset jet clear adhesive is not perfectly clear so the paint underneath is a bit off-white.

Your other alternative is digital or screen printing or cut vinyl decals.
