You should check out the source, by the way; very cool bike » Vianzone.001

So I figured both the Benotto and Bartali saddles were made by a saddle manufacturer in italy (FN in Bologna) and they used the same stock graphics for both. So I stole the design
The end results are outstanding. I, for one, would love to see a bit more about the process involved in creating the stamp/die/etc that resulted in those excellent products (especially the leather and metal badges).
