    If it were me (and I know it's not) I would try and replicate that script on the existing decals. Perhaps something like "Raleigh Record Eke". Classy and subtle. Be good to find a vintage 531 decal too - they're quite unusual.

    I'm veering between subtle and blatant. I've looked on fleabay for 531 decals and the ones I've seen are slightly different, but I'm not entering any concours competitions, so I won't mind too much.

    I've had some ideas on custom decals.
    1) RRA vertically on the seat tube.
    2) EKE (in the style of my old avatar) on the drive side top tube near the seat post.
    3) Record Ace on the non-drive side top tube near the seat post.
    4) Raleigh on both sides of the down tube.
    5) Record Ace on the inside of both chainstays.
    6) EKE (in the style of my old avatar but vertical) on the underside of the downtube.
    7) EKE (in the style of my old avatar) on the outside of the forks.

    All seven ideas would be too much, but three or four would be OK methinks.
    Need to get some black Scotchlight tape too. Maybe I could get some of the decals in that stuff so they would only be visible at night, under lights?

    Hmmm..........
    FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
    FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
    FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

    I'm hungry. I'm always hungry!
