RB, I've been thinking about this point.

IMHO, a bike shop sticker is great if it is from the bike which sold it new. The older the bike, the more intriguing the sticker. However a LBS sticker newly added to an old bike prior to re-sale really is just advertizing.
I may take you up on that Made In France sticker. I have just two reasons to pause. I've never done stickers before, could probably screw it up. The current ones may be underneath a clear coat. Don't really know yet. Either way, I'm not quite sure the best way to remove them. I guess that's three reasons.
