I'm a graphic designer. The original seat tube decal was in tatters but I was able to remove the remaining chunks, scan them together for reference, piece the chunks back together again, and recreate the art in Adobe Illustrator. It was time consuming but nowhere near as tedious as the reproduction process combining a waterslide decal with a metallic substrate. The down tube decals were easier: I had the correct font already and had my printer generate the lettering using a metallic gold ink.

Thanks! Once you created the image what or how was it put on The bike?

Both are self adhesive. The down tube decal is a silk screen based product on a release sheet. The seat tube graphic is a water slide decal on self adhesive metallic material. It is sealed with a clear coat for permanence.

Simple explanation, really - these photos were taken at different times and represent different build configurations. As I recall, the bike originally came to me with stem shifters. Early on I changed to down tube shifters. I think I went through a pair of Simplex, a pair of Huret, and eventually something else probably. That bottom photo shows a later iteration using bar end shifters.
