That she is. That's the shiny rims gone forever though. Very jealous of those with disc brakes yesterday.

You mention removing e stickers - I've just picked up some Fulcrum 5's second hand and the owner removed the stickers. I'll pop a photo in the 'what have you bought now thread' when I've given them a little tlc. If I get chance I'll do a side by side shot with my Fulcrum 7's so you can see how they visually compare. Those are S5's with the stickers removed. I quite like how they look de-stickered (not my choice, that's how they came), but I'd not removed the stickers from my other pair of Fulcrums as it's a PITA removing the adhesive from the rims.

Ooh that is nice. I'm hoping that the stickers get tatty taking the decision out of my hands.

De-stickered the wheels. I like it. Not going to be fun getting all the adhesive off. wd40 was fairly ineffective.

Sorry but go faster stickers are just faster. Fact Can always buy some replacements. The bike is a tad busy looking with all the graphics so happy to be able to dial it back a little. Might go to plain black cages too.

I tried WD40 and it did not touch the adhesive. White spirit and a helping of elbow grease did the trick. A couple of soakings, by apply with an microfibre rag/towel, did the trick for me.

Developed a creak up at the handlebars when out of the saddle. With giving it a bit of a look given the recent wet weather that killed my wheels.
I was expecting a much harder job of getting to the headset. I thought they were press fit affairs but the cartridges and seals just came right out. A good clean and some fresh grease have them running silently again.
I don't think the bottom bracket is anywhere near as easy should it come to it but it's fine so far.
