Syncros lettering on seat posts?

[PeteC]

Any one know (for certain) how the vertical SYNCROS lettering was done on the 2nd gen+ Syncros alu seat posts?

Assume it started with a vinyl stencil/mask and then either powder coat or paint was sprayed on next?

Same question for the ti version?

Ah yeah, screen printing makes sense. Usually associate it with t-shirts, but no reason it couldn't be used en masse with alu tubes.

(and I love that show too... have missed it since moving to the US)

Pad print probably.
Always avoid alliteration.

Re:

for cock-ups. On alloy components, most likely screen printed on or etch printed directly...

Tipp-Ex is a trademarked Correction Fluid / Liquid paper.
European.

Screen printed directly to the component, unlike the stems that were a cut vinyl letter
