    I'm suprised it hasn't collapsed under it's own weight

    How do you know it's 853? I'd worry so much I couldn't sleep.

    Dont worry, all stickers prevent rust, just use another one

    Not so timwillows – only 853 stickers prevent rust

    Throw it into the Fires of Doom within Mordor.
    If its 853 it will bounce back out again.

    With 853 stickers you could completely cover the bike – thus preventing rust, or at least seeing rust

    "put a titanium sticker on it "

    Wont that make it too flexy and spongy?

    cyclistm, I believe you're confusing flex & sponginess with zing & magiccarpetfloat

    Do NOT put a titanium sticker on it.

    Wow – I didn't know 853 stickers were so protective.
    (and my new frame has one!)

    The frame should be condemned on Health and Safety grounds. Send it to me for disposal.
