Well the bike is finally in the land of the north and after some drama with the security chain not being long enough to fit around the lamppost, and a last minute dash to halfords for a new one, it is all secured and safe for the night. As buying the bike was a bit fiddly and dad had to sort out everything including actually picking the bike up (thanks dad:D ) we didn't realise that the salesman had made a few changes between the agreed sale date and the pickup date.
So i now have two raised (bubble-like) stickers advertising the shop on the bike that i don't want there. There is one on the tail which i'm not too fussed about but i really don't like the one on the front wheel cover.
Now i'm going to ring the guy in the shop up and see if he has a way of removing them as he must remove other shop stickers that come in on the bikes he buys - but if he doesn't i was wondering if anybody else knew how to remove them?
I would normally use something like nail varnish remover to dissolve the glue, but as this is my new pride and joy i'm obviously a bit nervous about doing this. The stickers are raised which makes it extra difficult to lift them away from the surface, brilliant.
So any tips/advice would be very much appreciated :)
