Finally a question I can answer. I've been chasing Zieleman frames since I first rode one in Chris Meerman's shop in the 80's. I've finally found 2, one road one track, both in the Netherlands. In the process I've been in contact with some folks in the Netherlands, and sorry to say but the transfers are not available. Ko Zieleman's son is running a shop in Amsterdam and one collector brought in a bike to be repainted. The painter that Zieleman used painted the transfers (pattern done on computer?) and then clearcoated the frame. The only person I know of here in the states who might have a lead on old transfers would be Larry Black in Md. I do recall that Chris Meerman told me the transfers were water slide and self destructed even faster than the old Pinarello transfers. Did you get the Blue Zieleman that was on ebay a few weeks back? I was interested but it was a bit small for me. glad it found a good home.
