Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Congrats! Very nice.

I wouldn't bother removing more stickers since the bike already looks relatively clean, compared with some of the billboards you see these days.

Nope, no issues with campy w/fsa crank. I'll eventually switch cranksets but I'm in no hurry to do that, that and Christmas time is coming so need to slow down spending on my own toys

other than bling im sure the FSA is fine. I think it looks sweet. Very similar to the campy crank in look. I was thinking about doing the same set up on my new bike. Except Zero Gravity Brakes, FSA crankset, Records levers and F +R derailiuer. . sweet rig tho. I always like the fuji's.

YES i think you should remove all the stickers.

How do you get the stickers off a Fuji. I tried the blowdryer to heat them up and they still would not come off.

some are printed on, others are laid under the clear coat. You can't remove all the Fuji stickers. That and I was talking about removing the remaining Neuvation stickers

Not sure on the weight. I need to find a scale at some point. Rides great though.

I think some people are confused because it looks like those are before and after pics: i.e. you've already removed the neuvation stickers, and you're considering removing the Fuji ones too.

The second pic is a photoshopped photo of what the bike would look like without the neuvation stickers, and you're asking if you should remove them, right?

I say take them off. The second pic looks tons cleaner.
