I recently acquired a Nishiki Pro (early '80.s, the one painted dark gun-metal gray with red bands on the seat tube). It has extensive rust, especially on the top tube. The cable guides will have to come off because of extensive corrosion, but the frame appears to be in good enough condition to be saved. The paint color looks easily matched, and I'm sure I could mask and paint the bands on the seat tube.

I need a decal (or sticker) set for the resto. Do they exist? Does anyone have a set for sale? Any ideas?

I'm in no hurry because the stem is stuck, and since it is an old logo Cinelli, I'll take my time trying to save it.

Any comments will be much appreciated.
