Those stickers with your name that you put on the top tube

[barnabyjones]

Local artist is running a 4 for 1 sale. He'll paint your name (first and last!) on your shoes, bike, car and house. DM me for details!

My favorite stickers were the tube set stickers used by my friend Tony Mezzatesta, RIP, on the frames he built. The stickers indicated the frames were built from “NBI” tube sets. It was an inside joke that got a lot of mileage. “NBI” stood for “Nothing But Initials.” Bicycle enthusiasts and racers can be so self-important and condescending, especially in the road cycling world.

I wouldn't but I want you to do what ever makes you happy.

Forget what anyone else thinks.

Darrell McCulloch of Llewellyn has the owner’s name painted on the frame if they wish...nice touch.

I've noticed it's more of a thing here in CA than it was in WA.

I have "Carl's Bike" on mine. If the custom sizing didn't kill any chance of resale then that would. Good thing that I never intend to sell it.

And FWIW I don't give a rats clacker whether other people think it's cool or not.

Really? The only names the custom builders who've built me bikes have ever painted on the frames were their own.


Edit: Which reminds me of something an old bass teacher of mine said after he received his custom-made instrument by luthier Albey Bagochian, which had a mother-of-pearl "A" -- Albey's logo -- on the headstock: "For the amount of money I paid for this, it should have my initials on the headstock!"

Wheel stickers made life easy in CX pits

It’s just for fun, don’t take any of it too seriously.

They're OK only ... if you don't wear the yellow jersey. Or the rainbow jersey. Or a full team kit. Or tall socks.

I don’t care either way but what is the purpose? Trying to think of other items people personalize this way. Anyway, I can think of two times I didn’t buy a used bike because someone’s name was painted on it..,maybe stickers are better if you think you will ever sell it?

[johnniecakes]

Someone else's name or some corporations name is on every single piece of equipment or clothing we ride in. So what is the big deal about your name? Either way is fine with me. It's your hobby, enjoy it any way you see fit

What, your mom never wrote your name in magic marker on the waistband of your underpants when you went away to camp?

[reuben]

Get a couple of dozens stickers with your name on them. Send them to random Paceliners, or maybe Pacliners of your choice. Let's see who puts them on their bike(s).

Could become a cult thing.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away when I was too young even for camp.
