Want some to fit to just my top tube, turns out the new mega's are painted with cheese. As Euan mentioned when I first got it the top tube rubs off on the edges, presumably from knee pads/ shorts.
I'm only 5 rides in and it's looking hazy already. Needs a polish then taping up.
Don't want the full invisi frame kit as well can't be arsed to remove bits from the bike, just want a long strip to wean around the top tube
Where do people get there's from?

I've just been on the Invisiframe website and my shopping basket now has nearly £100 worth of sticky plastic in it :/ Frame, cranks and forks!! Have you bought it already. I paid a touch under that off a lad in leisure lakes to wrap my frame, forks and cranks. Obviously using their own material, saved me a lot of time and from previous experience a hell if a lot of frustration and 1000% better job than i could have done. If you ask around for some personal recomendations in your area you might find a better deal and peace if mind that they'll do a good job. Unless of course you have had a good experience of doing it before. |

100 notes on tape I can can understand why you do it but 100 notes eeek Not bought any yet mate.. These Mega's have problems with paint rubbing off the top tube from leg rub! Don't fancy patches lol Probably won't bother with cranks and forks to be honest!

I'll give him a bell I think, see what he says. Cheers  |

I never bother they are Mtb To an extent I agree with that but you also have to think of resale values, having no paint on the top tub isnt very appealing for new owners |

I know it hard at the moment, but its quite liberating when your 9mth old frame looks like its done a tour of afghanistan, you can get on with riding it and not worrying about marking its lovely paint.
I'll sell you £100 worth of GOI, for a knock down price of £75? Ready for immediate delivery.

I just spent £14 on 3m x 50mm of 3m heli tape, done the top tube and any other area that needed done, if you take your time you'll get a good finish
