I **** hate stickers, or pointless logo’s emblazoned all over bikes/frames/components so before i even built my last bike up i removed all the stickers/logos from my Stans rims, Fox Talas forks, Cove Hummer frame. I still have annoying logos on my Easton Haven bars that get on my tits so i’ll use that as an excuse to possibly try out the new Thomson TI bars, the logo’s on my tyres annoy me as well but i’ve not found a suitable black marker pen to successfully cover them up yet.
Always destickered all my bikes since my first real mtb back in 91 (marin pine mountain) and my index finger gets itchy when i see a bike covered in logos or stickers.
Some of the worst looking culprits are Lapierre’s which we sell in the shop 😕 , some of the road bikes look like they were designed by a 10yr old with an sticker/logo fetish, and the various acronym’s touted by the bike industry on frame stickers are just laughable.
I’m convinced the main drive for oversized frames and fancy hydroformed alloy or carbon shaping is an industry led desire for more logo space 😉
Keep it simple, it’s a bike not a fashion accessory and no-one is impressed with with a sticker….apart from the 10yr old kid next door that is.

An example of a bad lapierre, there are over 40 logos on this abomination.
A quite tasteful ibis build, Personally i’d have destickered the rims and forks but as it was a build we did for a customer i thought better of it.
