Don't decals add 5 hp (or I guess the bike equivalent would be something like subtract 5 lbs)?
I am on the fence about the decals. On the one hand, no decals would be a cleaner, classier look for sure... on the other hand, the rest of the bike is such a blank slate that the decals add a certain visual je ne sais quois.
I think I'd leave them.

+1 for the decals.
-1 for the tires.
Special place in my heart for Panasonic. I was riding centuries for fun on a Panasonic 2000 before I knew what the word century meant.

Takes more than decals for me.
Plenty of other bikes posted in this thread that are not worthy, I do not consider this bike one of those...

Agree.
Kind of amateurish to get a bike a gussied up like that and not line the tire logos up with the valves.

I didn't even notice the chain stay. It's belt drive with the belt on the outside of the seat stay???
The whole thing is kinda freaking me out...
