Oh, cool! As I've just demonstrated, I don't know my way around Hobbs graphics. It's kinda too bad; English bikes of that period have some really great graphics, and those ones you've printed are kinda plain (in my humble opinion). Can't argue with what's right, though.
And yes, waterslide is far preferable to vinyl! Application can be tricky, but I doubt you'll mess up more than one or two. I usually get them on without much trouble and then botch them up afterwards. Patience is a virtue! Apply one decal and let it dry for as long as you can stand. They look great right away, but the glue under the decal can take hours or days to dry, and they're relatively fragile until then.
