Is the frame Ti or is it painted? What brand?

I want to know too.... I have decals coming in soon for a Ti frame... The manufacturer said they were 3M vinyl adhesive... Any links or advice to get them to look as close to "factory" as possible would be appreciated.

very good question.

I'm switching decals on a ti frame. Also how would I take off the headbadge? blow-dryer and dental floss??

I'm replacing the serotta decals with another set of serotta decals (from the factory)

Acetone will remove the decals. They are next to impossible to peal off. Take a rag and keep it wet with acetone and rub them off. The acetone will dissolve the decal entirely. Wear gloves or die too early.

Heat up the head badge and dental floss it. Clean off residue with acetone.

Changing color or just freshening up?
