I mean after market, you know component stickers subtle, perhaps one strategically placed on a chainstay or the like.

Do you think they look **** under any circumstances, have to admit to being a sticker junkie all my life. 🙂

Stickers come free with MBUK.

That should tell you all you need to know!

Stickers go on the toolbox, not on the bike.

No need. I REMOVE as much branding as i can from my bikes. 2 out of 3 are completely blank except the odd bit of component branding.

Bikes are for big kids.

Stickers are for big kids.

Therefore, bikes + stickers = awesome.

+1 for stickers on the toolbox.

The top tube of my brand new Pure 7 has a nasty scratch, which is covered with a Hope sticker. The other side carries a Bike Tart sticker, because their coffee shop is ace.

Brand stickers are a big no no.

Slogan stickers* if placed on the correct bike with the correct rider in the correct context can be quite acceptable.

*If small and in a descrete place or a brand that's been doctored to say something totaly different.

aftermarket stickers are for sponsored riders only, or perhaps the wannabe's........

Thats a bit like saying team kit is for team riders only.

I happen to think I look pretty dashing in my Lampre gear.............

I love stickers. And, I also go around with my goggles back to front round my neck when I'm off the bike for "the factory look".

No fan of stickers but liking the stickers on TheSwede's Intense...raw finish helps. Did always like the Cannondale hardtail circa 2005 that came with an airplane style finish. :edit: This one...

I like that Intense's stickers )

Otherwise, agree with stu. Not had many bke stickers since the good old days of Dope technology and Fuc-off stickers. The MTB equivalent of raver's t's from '91.

A few token stickers on the frame/forks help identify your kit when it's inevitably stolen :/

Is that why he got in touch yesterday to say you'd "finished" with him.

The freezer...

when it no longer works it'll become a cupboard or i'll build one for the freezer door (other stickers on door edges and a few on the fridge door above).
