Did you buy or make those decals. If DIY, how'd you do it?
Nice video, love the stitch up bar grips.

I made the design in Adobe Illustrator and sent them to the print office.
It is cut out of thin vinyl.

Yeah. I wasn't sure about that. Couldn't find any definite conclusion online. As it is often the case.
So, you think it should be behind? Why? I can easily move it

Why? Because it a) looks better, and b) generally gives better braking results because of less sharp angles in the cable.

We're just having a discussion on the subject here.

And c) because that's how Eddy did it:

Imo it would look way way better with a proper vintage racing saddle, some old fashioned textile bar tape and brake hoods. But that's just my opinion.
