i have a new iro mark v coming to me. what's the latest on the decal removability? looking at old threads it appears this varies year by year (under top coat vs. not). has anybody gotten an iro lately and successfully removed the decals? what's working? i wouldn't mind if the decals weren't there but also could live them.
that said-- i'm acutely aware of the moral/ethical implications of taking off tony's label.
goo-be-gone is at the ready.

fair nuff, brother. i just pray it's over the paint. that's really my question for the forum--> what's IRO doing these day's? i guess i'll find out tomorrow anyway. can"t wait!
They're under the clear coat (as of last year, at least). If your frame is black, electrical tape works well.
+1 for the electrical tape
