thanks for all the input. my dragonfly arrived earlier this week. only four week's time! it's absolutely stunning, but i must say i'm not that thrilled with the decals.
in particular, the two nautilus' on the fork shoulder blades show wrinkles in the decals due to the curvature of the shoulder. and the letter "a" in the word "made" from the phrase "made in california" literally wiped away as i rubbed my thumb across it. bummer. so, to remedy that, i'll be heading out today to get some acetone to take the entire decal off. i'm hoping the acetone has no affect on the nude carbon.
in general, the decals on the nude finish appear as though they can just flake away, which is unfortunate because this really detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the frame. that said, i presume any type of decal on nude carbon would look this way, and would bet they'd look a lot better beneath the gloss finish. i decided to go with the standard decals, rather than stealth, as i'm told by calfee reps that the stealth decals are not particularly suitable for adhering to nude carbon.
anyone have any experience removing their own decals with acetone? any advice?
