You go to a font database and choose what font you want, the height of the font, and the decal color. Cost me $65 for the set, plus an extra one of each in case I messed up on application. Took me a good 2 hours to pick out those fonts. Looks a hell of lot better than the stock Xentis graphics in my opinion.
In the above case, "Mark 1" is bold italic Conielian Expanded and "Xentis" is bold italic Krazynights.

I'd have chosen different tri clips though.

Seven Alaris SG
Just picked her up last Thursday. Rides like butter! It's true what they say about Ti, it has a "hum" quality to it.

a) 1978 Bridgestone Kabuki Diamond Touring with original Brooks B17 upgrade saddle. I still have the original packing materials, owner's manual and receipt (11/08/79).
b) My "Foodge" set up for touring. Have N.O.S. Pleitscher rear rack, Cannondale panniers, Cannondale handlebar bag, saddle bag, SKS commuter fenders, kick stand, Cat's Eye headlight, and Cat's Eye bar-end mounted mirror.
c) Mid-90s flat bar Raleigh Record CX with 27" x 1 1/4" Araya alloy rims (the other 2 also have the same type of rims)
I have about six bikes in total now, and get asked why I need so many. I explain they are like footwear to me. Different bikes (set-ups) for different uses. Somewhat similar to the way people own different pairs of shoes....sneakers, running shoes, hiking boots, boat shoes, dress shoes, work boots, etc.

Classic Specialized Epic Carbon Frame Road Bike, circa '91
Nickname: "Iron Man" per my 6 yr old grandson, due to the color (burgundy/gold).
Carbon frame, lugged, aluminum dropouts. Has a Co Mo fork, at that time they couldn't make an economical and light CF fork strong enough. Full 105 SIS gruppo (down tube shifters.)
Still in great condition, no corrosion. All joints tight. Rides sweet, smooth and fast. Pretty clean, with a few cosmetic scratches. Original BG seat, pretty comfortable. Indexed down tube shifters work perfect despite all the years and miles. Dam, I wish this baby was 2 cm bigger. Alas, after many months and sweet miles, I'll be parting with it. Too small for me, couldn't make enough adjustments to fit it. After I rode this though, I was convinced carbon frame is the way to go.
Shimano 105 group, 14 speed, cranks, shifters, brakes
Wober GTX rims
Hutchinson Tires
FSA Cabon wrap seatpost
Joy Tech C90 hubs
New Shimano SPD compatible pedals

Looks like cable stops. My girlfriend's bike is like that. Might have been downtube shifters at one point, but when the STI was added, the shifter mounts became cable stops.

Started out with mountain bike but then fall in love with road bike. This is my first road bike. Everything is stock except the bottle cages and new saddle.
