Did DW finally come up with some decent looking frame stickers? Hope so...cause that's all he was missing IMO.
That last pic shows the seat tube sticker and it seems better. Instead of something gotten from a sign shop.

He still has the plain style down tube sticker. The new little ones are sweet though.

And yeah, I agree. Great frames, horrible logos. I'd probably debadge mine if I got one, and I'm sure he wouldn't like that either.
