Stickers
Does it work to write to bike companies and ask for free stickers?

the Pinarello dealer here in Toronto will give you a pinarello sticker, but the manager, will put it personally on your Pinarello bike, so if you don't have pinarello bike, he (owner) will not give you a pinarello sticker, I think they are just safeguarding their name and brand, try writing to the manufacturer, every company may have different policy, and good luck Fubar on your quest.....

I saw on MTB Review where they had free stickers some time ago. I guess they still do. Also RockShox has stickers if you go to the "contacts" page of their site. Haven't checked any other sites but I just happened to see these. Let us know if you find any more. I have some "crash" marks to cover up!

I'll let you guys know how it goes. TITEC sent me a cool sticker. RACEFACE is supposed to send me some but its been awhile, so I probably won't get those.
Tomorrow I am going to type up several request letters and send them off to various companies, and see if any of them respond.

I've taken years-old issues of Bicycling magazine (I used to subscribe to it) and re-read them several times.

Well, I just recieved a butt-load of brochures in the mail today. Out of all of it, I got 2 Cane creek stickers, 1 manitou sticker,and 1 answer sticker. Pretty cool stuff, I am putting the stickers on my helmet, is this uncool? I don't really care if it is, my helmet is a Bell from...Wal-Mart. When I get a new helmet I will keep it clean.
