It's tough to have someone make just 2 decals so I ended up just finding an online decal site where you input your graphics, fonts,etc.etc. Of course it's bulk so for around $12 I now have 44 decals. lol!
Anyway, I tried to get it close enough to what I've found online. All I needed was the "team malvor" portion. Then I "aged" them with some fine sandpaper. Good enough from 5 ft. away.

Love the pics at the Pulgas Water Temple! I live on the east coast but ride up there when I can, when in town. Great job on the Bottechhia, terrific chrome and paint scheme on that one!

Thanks Ken! Yeah it's a nice ride in that area specially during Sundays when they close the road off.

Great looking bike, nice work.
Love the crank, a bit unusual which is very good and cool.
And we all know what a workhorse the SunTour RD is, I would "camouflage" the Fuji with a sharpie for good measure lest the Italian cycling gods smote you unmercifully.

really nice build
steerer looks quite slack, how does it ride?
love the white tape and black saddle to match the decals and sullying it with decent modern brakes so its good to ride fast
maybe a bit of flair with a coloured bag is in order something like:
