Subject: Where can I get cool decals for my bike?

I'm a proud new owner of a Cervelo P2C dura-ace in the sweet white/red color scheme, but I know that the minute I enter a tri, there will be anywhere from 10-100 bikes of the exact same make in the field and in the transition area.

 I was hoping to put some nice decals on it to make it more unique - for cosmetic reasons, as well as so people won't accidentally confuse my bike with theirs. (Ok, it's unlikely, I know.)

 Any good online sources for high-quality cool bike decals?

You could do that or look into getting a set that is not black..or I know they make seat covers..will make it stand out.  I did a race on a borrowed bike that had a yellow seat and it was easy peasy to find it in transition

The seat cover is a really good idea but you still have to remember where your bike is. Some people tie a balloon to their rack.

Whatever you do, don't put a $3 decal on $3000 bike. Plus, by the time to get close enough to see the sticker you should know whether that is your gear by the bike or not.

That's why I won't be getting a Cervelo!

I had custom decals done for mine... It says "Suprgrrl" down the forks - cause yeah - I'm a superstar! *laughing* No - I have a Superman tattoo so I got Supergrrl from my tri-buddies....

I think they cost me 2$ at a graphics place. 

I agree with the seat cover - that sounds like a good plan.  (Although - I have a screaming yellow towel to put my gear on - easier to see!)

Teamestrogen.com has some cool decals that are reflective. I have black paisleys on my white Specialized road bike. They aren't obnoxious but at the same time gives the bike a different look.
