My poor Raleigh's decals are nearly gone from age and wear. Ought I buy a new set of water slide decals?

Do they even work?
Is this a bike sin?

Easy peasey. (And a little elbow grease.)

They'll work. I'd check his feedback and see if the folks are happy with the quality, but I say do it. Water slide decals are tough to find.

I bought a set of Humber's from this seller and they were just fine. One or two in the set weren't an exact match so you can't expect to lay them over the old ones and look perfect. Overall, I'm happy.
