Hi Tom, Dale and List:

Sorry about the late response. I have a lot of pot on the stove and, then there is the Tour.

Yes, I guess you could consider decals stickers. The decals I'm making/referring to are the classic water slide decals. I'm making them out of need; I have six Fiamme rims, all with the wrong decals for my bikes.

The Lloyds stickers look great at a quick glance. But if you run your finger over them, there is a noticeable lip because of the thick paper,

unlike water slide decals, which have no edge. You may call me anal, but I've put a lot of time and money into getting the restoration "right," so I feel like the effort is diminished if I go with a sticker

instead the "correct" water slide decal.
