Did some looking around to jog my memory... Klein used a debossing method for the graphics. They'd paint the frame the color of the graphics then apply masks the shapes of the graphics. Then, they'd apply the top coat and clear over it all. So it's part of the paint job. The graphics on the stays and fork may be decals, but the rest is permanent. There was a website that had lots of info on old Kleins, but I can't find it right now.
