Again , information is from April-May 2001 , so it may not be very accurate . When I bought the "last" frame to be shipped out of "Taylor Brothers" , I bought extra decals , just in case . Norman gave me a discount , since I was buying them with a frame . If I wanted more , I'd have to pay the regular price of 40 Pounds Sterling . Call it 60 Dollars US . A definite chunk of money , but not a fortune . As I recall , both styles were available . But , tubing sticker choice was severely limited ( maybe modern only ) . And , of course , I'd be willing to bet that http://www.cyclart.com could help you with custom reproductions of whatever decals you should desire !

Very Best Wishes ,
