Anyone have issues with paint fade on the frame after removal? I'm thinking of removing mine, but they've been on there for almost two years...I'm concerned about the paint under the stickers not matching the rest of the frame due to the sun.

Also, what did you use to remove? Heat gun?

Thanks

Got mine in 09, and took them off this year. No fade issues.

Removed the stickers after 10 years, and no paint fade. Would have done it sooner, but forgot they were there until I read a "sticker removal" thread here last year.

No fade here either. Use a hair dryer, not to hot and will do the trick.

Just kidding - I vote for removing them. It makes a big difference in cleaning up the frame.

My personal rules for my bike:
1. No stickers
2. No reflectors
3. No colors anywhere except black, including lenses
4. No flames
5. No skulls
6. No eagles

Just my opinion, but to me this has kept my bike clean looking.

Sounds like words to live by. Definitley how I have always done it.

I cut off all the tags on my pillows too, but now I have to watch out for the pillow police...

on the tags it clearly states: DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW
