One problem you may have is that the 531 decal in the photo is from the late 60's/ early 70's. The style of the 531 decals have changed at least 4 or 5 times since then. Not sure if Mecians can supply 531 decals that old, and current 531 decals will not be correct for that bike.

They were willing to sell me some transfers for another maker at one time, so I presume they will sell their own sets too, but I don't guarantee that. Some builders require or strongly urge you to let them do the refinishing, rather than selling their bare transfers. But it can't hurt to ask, either. Of course if you're willing to mail the frame to Derby, they can take care of everything for you.

I'm trying to locate the appropriate 531 decals for my Mercian. I'm hoping a list member might have a set they'd sell me or can at least point me in the right direction. Photos of it are here: http://tinyurl.com/7zhp4
