Decal-less bikes are therefore cooler. if a bike is so gorgeous it still looks good without them, it raises the bar for everyone else.
A now-dead mate used to polish the decals of components, black them out on tyres, and even ordered a Carradice bag sans label. That was more a political gesture than an aesthetic one though, cos he painted his Flying gate yellow!
I'm gradually cutting down on decals, and no longer add them on resprays - cept the old "Guaranteed built with..." of course! No-brand is the new brand.
