Manufacturers sticker

Frame numbers can be useful...

I would rather get rid

Hairdryer to heat, pick off, then lighter fluid (for zippo etc) to remove residue.

If that's the only place that the frame number is recorded, you might regret it.

Heat it with a hairdryer while peeling it off, then white spirit on any remaining goo. Hopefully it won't have a clearcoat over the top

Exactly as above.

How will you prove the bike is yours if stolen and recovered? Isn't it hidden under the BB anyhow?

It's the one without the sticker. Obviously.

I reiterate the work hard to get it off intact methods, as above. I find WD40 is the best for removing the sticky residue if you don't manage it though.

It could be a bar code number all I really wanted to know was how to get rid of it. Lol

Does that work? Might try it on my Y fronts.

Yup. That's where it gets its name. It Wipes Down 40 shades of sh...

Are you sure its the manufacturer's sticker or is it the sticker that the bike shop applies. Simiilar to what cars have from the garage. so that they can see it was sold by them or another form of sticker reffering to type of frame or BB. I have never seen a manufacturers sticker before apart for the one mentioned regarding frame number which is usually hidden under the BB if its a carbon frame, manufacturers names are usually part of the paint scheme
