Pedal Force frame decals?
Ok, so we all know the PF logos blow big time (look like they were made in MS Word....). I emailed them and asked if I could get a frame that was nude, with just a clear coat, and this is what he sent back (very quickly, i might add):
"The QS2 frame has our logo on the headtube and no decal along the down tube. The ZX3 has decal along the downtube. The FUSION frame is the only frame without any decals."
I recall someone saying they requested a frame with no decals and they sent you one? Is this true? I am looking to buy a ZX3 over the QS2, but am really turned off by the downtube decal.......i guess i could just repaint it.......but i want to see the weave!!!!! thoughts?

Sometimes they get some frames in that haven't had the decals put on yet. You can request them with no decals in that case. The decals are just under the clear coat. So, you can just lightly sand the clear coat off and remove the decal. Then take it to a auto body shop and have them put some new clear coat on that area and blend it in. It shoudl cost like $50 and take them just a few minutes to do it.

Comfort geometry?

Compare it to the Scott CR1 for example:
