hair dryer or heat gun...........no chemicals required.
Well, I'll be decal removing tonight, so shall kick off with Mrs GT's hairdryer and see how we go.
If I get peckish, then I'll make sure I have a peanut butter sarnie. Should the hairdryer not be doing the trick, I'll wipe it all over the frame

First hairspray for the grips and now a drier to get rid of scuffy decals? Sounds like there could be some economy of scale in combination hair salon/bike shop. Just think, you could sell fixies and give kids asymmetrical cuts covering their eyes, trim the UNIX beards of mountainbikers while they peruse expensive brightly colored bits of anodized aluminum, and of course roadies X leg wax is a no-brainer.

Just wondered in the process of doing this you removed the plastic chainstay gaurd?.
Im need to remove and replace mine wondered if hair dryer trick works for these? before i go ahead. Got visions of molten plastic all over carpet
No, the LTS has a bare chainstay, so either its never had one or one of the previos owners has removed it.
I would guess a hairdryer or a form of thinner should do it.
