Do you decorate your bike?

Who has aftermarket stickers on their bike? If so, what are they? The only one I have is on my left chainstay and it says "My other bike is a bike." and the UBI logo.

Your turn...

Stickers ruin the look of the bike IMO.

No stickers...but I bought myself a set of grips with the little tassles on the end in colors that match my bike.

I like it because its old-school and reminds me of my first tricycle.

Right now I have a 'one less car' on my downtube right by my bottom bracket and a 'BoyHitsCar' on my top tube.

And I just put a 'FSA' sticker on the bottom of my downtube.

I used "jesus tape" to cover up the brand stickers. Jesus tape is funny.

i have those plastic things that slide up and down your spokes on my ss. However, its only on the front wheeel and only red ones. looks pretty awesome and the chicks dig it. i also have red cable housing on that bike too and red bars and pedals. There's a few stickers but i think if you are working on your bikes cosmetics/decorations, you can go way beyond stickers.

Carumba sticker because I use the part on my bike, and because I thought it matched the graphics that are already on the bike.
