Bruce, now the duck has dropped from the ceiling and is quacking "Schlumpf! Schlumpf! Schlumpf!" Groucho says it's the magic word.
The only thing detering me from the Schlumpf is I would get the overdrive version, and this bike is going to see the Dolomites. I would be worried about the granny end of gear inches, thus my interest in a triple crankset.
Re: decals. As many motorcyclists know, heat gun on low, or hair dryer on high, careful heating on one end of the decal, lift that end of the decal off the frame, and work the heat and lifting to the other end of the decal. Beware of nearby plastics. Wear kitchen gloves.
