Answer 1

For the clothing, you can go to pretty much any shop that customizes clothing for sport teams, but make sure they know how to deal with silkscreening lycra. Some places don't have the right inks and the letters will peel off right away, and others may get sloppy and distort the graphic.

Buy the clothing you want, either retail or customizable designs from companies like Perfomance. For example, you can get something like this:

http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=22099&subcategory_ID=1210

then take it to the silkscreen shop and have them put what ever you want on it. They will be able to do straight text pretty cheaply, but if you want something more graphic, you will need to provide them with "camera ready art". A good shop can help you with this. You will pay alot more for graphics since they have to build a custom screen. They call this a 'set-up charge'. If you buy a shitload of clothing sometimes it gets waived, but not often. There might not be a setup charge if you go with straight text since they already have the screens for those, but be prepared to pay it since your only buying one jersey/top.

I have a Nishiki too and it is indeed custom made-to answer your question. Your frame probably says 100% handcrafted right?
