Support Symbols or Stickers for your bike?

Ummm....how does he do that with his wheel? What's the material? Wouldn't you get kind of blown around with something that catches the wind on the wheel?

**snapdragen** · 08-09-2006, 05:57 PM

That's a disc wheel - used in time trials.

Nothing on the bike, but on the front of my planner I have a vintage-looking Giant sticker of a little kid saluting, with words "It's my duty to ride!"

(on the inside, I have printed and glued some of the more inspirational writings from you fine wimmen.)

I have a shiney new Human Rights Campaign sticker and an Ibex logo in purple just waiting to be put on my fender.

I'm with Trek, no stickers on the bike herself. I like her nekkid.... at least for now.

Lise "Wouldn't you get kind of blown around with something that catches the wind on the wheel?"

oh yeah, but when we are all on pro teams riding roads free of traffic with gorgeous (or handsome) hotties on motorcycles clearing the route in front of us .... who cares if it drifts a little.

I'm thinking powder coat on the commuter in future with maybe one small icon. They take all the logos off. But I could never decide on one image, which is why I'll never have a tatt either

Ah, disc wheel (nodding head as if I knew what I was talking about).

I love that Giant sticker, latelate! Where did you get it? My duty to ride, indeed! Yes it is!

I'm half in/half out of the stickers on bike decision. On the Larkspur, I've got race numbers and a "Triathlete" sticker. On the Bianchi--nothing! Don't touch my bike! No stickers!

No stickers on my bikes either but if I was going to get one I think this is a cool idea

Some wonderful lady here at TE posted this link before but unfortunately I cant remember who.

Thanks for that link, Trekhawk! That looks really cool. I might actually get one. I call my bike the Green Hornet. I'd rather put that name on her than my own.

OOhh I think that would look fab. Im with you I wouldnt put my own name (mines a little too boring) but your bikes name is a great idea. Please post a shot if you decide to get it.

My BF keeps telling me to find a cool sticker to put on my top tube to cover the dent. The only problem is that it's in a really dumb-looking spot, right in the middle of the graphic, so a sticker just stuck on there would look kind of silly. However, if I found the right thing, I might go for it...

I've always wondered why more bikes don't have stickers. It's fun to personalize! There's one that I've seen that I like that's made just for bikes that says "One f*cking speed."

<rant warning> Personally, I don't understand the whole "10//2" thing. Yeah, it's a big date for Lance and all, and it's great that he's done so well. But, sheesh....it's not like a big date for me...so why would I wear something so Lance-centric. I checked out that weblink that explained the graphics on the wheel...."Lance this...Lance that." Good grief. Do I really care that you could only stomach apple fritters, Lance?? And why on earth would you want to memorialize that with a sticker on your wheel??

That said....

I've never used them, I wanted to order a "Hare racing" headset cap for my bike (I like bunnies), but the no longer make a 1" cover, as all are 1.125" (my frame is a '99 and has the older headset). They look like they have fun stuff. Anyone used them?
Also....for those with unpainted ti frames....a Sharpie can be used to custom graffiti your frame, and it cleans off easily with rubbing alcohol. So I've been told and witnessed at any rate....

Hey, I could leave my tri number sticker on my bike. I've seen folks do that. (ummm, I kinda thought it was tacky... but now that I might be getting one next week I'm starting to think it could be cool)

Depends on how cool the number is.

Pyxi- How about one of those little band-aid stickers they sell in motorcycle shops? You could put that on your top-tube dent. Some have phrases on them, too.

(I had a bandaid sticker that said "Stupid Hurts" across it, and loved it! Stuck it to my car.)

Oh man....now I want custom valve covers and cage screws! Seriously! At $2.49 each...cheap toys! And the name sticker is ~ $6! Maybe I'll get them all for myself as a reward for finishing the Pleasant Prairie tri.

I used to have this enameled badge on the head tube of my Terry Symmetry.
Pain in the Lane
It's probably still there, but the bike is somewhere at the bottom of a bay, thanks to Hurricane Ivan. *sniff*
