  1. I have a Giant TCR, with the anodised frame
    finish, a beautiful semi-matt grey, and black
    carbon forks, which are... well black carbon.
    To my eye the asthetic is rather spoiled by the
    yellow, black and white Giant decals.

    Does anyone have advice on how to remove
    the offending stickers, without damaging the
    frame (obviously)?

    Thanks
    David

    Second that question! Let me know what you find/figure out.

  3. I've removed decals applied by various dealers and such using bug and tar remover (automotive product), which contains mineral spirits. As always, apply to an inconspicuous area first and be patient.

    I think the problem you are going o run into is that those decals are likely clear coated. If that is the case, I don't see how you could remove them w/o effecting the overall finish of the bike. If you figure it out, please let me know.

  5. I've used "Goof Off" to remove decals from my bike, but they we're not clear coated and the bike is unpainted titanium.

  6. Remember: When you remove decals off of a frame, almost 100% of the time it will automatically void the warranty.
