ebay would be where i would start. if no luck try calling local shops in your area. most shops like ours have tons of old decals buried in a box somewhere..

p.s. i went through our collection of decals last week and we dont have any umezawa sets.

Hey guys ....been checking this page out for a while ...have rode bmx when i was in high school ....havent ridden much since then. I got to ride a friends "fixie" it was was a thrill. It will be great for going to school and riding around saving on the gas. So i will be getting a windsor "the hour" but i have no idea what size frame to get ...so how do i go about figuring out what size would work? Im 5'7 and a 30 inch inseam. i was thinking 49 cm??

ive never owned a fixed with brakes.. If you have a slight amount of common knowledge , or google " how to skid" you can learn the first day you get your fixed gear bike. Oh yeah, im not dead/ ever got into an accident cause my lack of brakes..

well 49 is way too small. As a rough guestimate , from the measurements you provided , id say around a 54 would be good .
