Not my preference but, Well you have a legitimate point. They are using the "team gerol" as a selling point. You were attracted to it for that reason. The decal set should be there for the duration or at least a reasonable amount of time.

I would press for a few more decal sets. Specialized sends out free repaint decal sets so this should NOT be a problem at all.

Nice bike, thanks for posting the pic. Bet you'll be gangbusters on it w the spring thaw!
