Names on frames stickers

Amateur. Put duct tape on the frame first, then marker pen.

That’s just lazyness, strip the paint, polish up to a mirror like finish and clear coat it to professional standard* then scribble on it 🙂

*or just nitromors roughly sand and then spray with halfords finest cheapest on your kitchen floor.

I think It looks pretty lame , Its your bike why do you need to put your name on It. ?

What about Flag – Name – Blood Group, and then you could argue some emergency-situation reason for naming your frame.

I remember the Milk Race winner in the 1970s Bill Nickson had “Big Nick” engraved on his stem. I thought that looked pretty cool, but I was only 10 years old then.

I’m gonna start carrying a permanent marker to draw a penis next to these stickers whenever I see one

A self portrait?

I’ve got the stickers the OP linked to on my bikes for the following reasons

1. The pro’s do it so I copied but in an ironic way
2. It upsets morons who think their style opinions are in any way valid
3. I got them for the road bike but they delivered sufficient to do all my bikes
4. I’ve met new cycling buddies at work when people have spotted my bike in the car park

No2 is by far the best reason tho…..

I have a genuine Bisley (the people who make filing cabinets) badge on the top tube of my five.

I’ve named my bike Jordan..

It’s big, bouncy, ridiculously over-engineered…

..and bright bloody orange! 😆

Mind you, i could put “No Surrender” on it.. 😉

Only idiots and cross dressing dickwads have their forum name on their bike

I a personalised sticker one on my bike that was stolen, it was returned to me due to great work by the police.

do you ride a 5?

I had some stickers from MBUK back in 2004 that I put on my Enduro in subtleplaces.

On the headtube, just under the upper cup is “Beware of Bears”. on the swingarm I’ve got “Flange Crazy”.

Despite eight years of all weather use, the stickers have stayed put.

paper and craft knife and time and tin of Plasti-Kote paint
equals miniature Nicolai

You called your son Nicolai?

I quite like the idea- especially the RAF ‘Biggles’ esque suggestion.

I’ve already got ‘Joe Murray’ on my top tube though so i’m not sure if it’ll work out 😆

Oooo.. Flandria bikes are just down the road from me.

Could be dangerous though, in a ” went in for a sticker, came out with a bike ” kinda way.

druidh – I wish. I wanted to call the girl MC San Andreas but the missus was ‘aving none of that either 🙁

Paying to have a sticker of your dweeby forum name done for your bike has surely gotta be one of the most uncool things ever.

3rds..
Acceptable only if you suffer from short term memory loss.

I sorted a friends bike out after Hellfrogs made a mess.

I put the stickers on for a laugh(its a bit of a nickname!)
It took him a while to realize it was on there!

My fat bike.. 😀

Your name on your bike is almost acceptable in a ‘pretending to be a top pro’ sort of way. It’s when you’ve got your name on your helmet too that I chuckle…..

Mrs T1000, almost dumped me in the early day’s….. because she couldn’t face going out with someone with their name on their bike

thankfully she discovered the Robert’s was the builder…..by asking a biking collegue if having your name on your bike was acceptable for anyone over the age of 12

in a drunken binge one night my house mate and i graffiteed our friends bike with a permanent marker… writing cock sucker, penis and other such inspired words on his bike…

oh how we laughed….

Shand = nice 8)

Thanks to many of the above comments I now have the dillema of changing either my forum name, or my bike, or taking all the stickers off it.

i got 2pairs free with some crank skins – they wont go on the bike – so they are free if any one wants them…. in a stealing my identity kinda way… 😉

I put my e-mail address on a small sticker on my seat tube brace, as I’ve found that the making the gestures “clicky-click, pointy point, sendy-wave, thumbs up” to foreign photographers sometimes gets you a nice picture.

Other than that lots of my bikes have had “Suicide Girls” stickers, for no particular reason

My favorite had to be “You ask where the engine goes, I break your face” as seen on a Lawhill swing arm of yore.

Suicide girls stickers…..where?!

I bought them off the suicide girls site

Moving swiftly on…

This is the reason that I would do it for. Do you think it would put off a potential thief? I would be more likely to paint it than sticker though

Theres an old roberts in my garden atm waiting to have all the bits stripped with roberts on the frame in sixteen places – slight naming overkill 😀

Mrs Kilo’s name on frame of shame;

1. The pro’s do it so I copied but in an ironic way

Is that a version of The Edinburgh Defence ?
