hey, this karate monkey has too many decals

can I just pull them off, they're not clearcoated or any kind of super-duper stickers that don't come off easily... right?

say "fatties fit fine" on chainstay, has a url on the seatstays, and advertising on the fork

top tube and down tube are fine

My friend just e-taped over his, in case he ever felt like reselling it.

my friend stripped his surley decals off with a hairdryer and his thumb nail.

Scraped them all off using a plastic putty knife. My Steamroller looks better than my next door neighbor's.

mine came off without even wanting them to. now, cause I ride so fast, it's an "Urly."

Surly sells the decal sets for under $10 if you take them off and change your mind.

I'm the electrical taping friend. I have a Rat Ride version 1x1. I didn't like it saying "Rat Ride" or "Fatties Fit Fine". i felt like a rockabilly ggraser or something!

Anyway, the decals on this bike seemed to be applied after the last finish coat.

There's the bike post e-tape.

I asked that same question in the MTB forum, and got no knowing responses.

I have no ideal, but I find them very cool!

Cheers.
