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

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.

Oh no - you will be arrested! The traffic cameras look for them!
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.
