    you can probably get the stickers off with some white spirit or meths.
    Rubbing the frame with sandpaper won't damage it but will take off the
    chrome plating that stops it rusting. Not quite sure what you mean by
    'the rugged look', it's quite common to strip Khs down becase they are
    aluminium, so won't rust and look cool. A stripped nimbus frame would
    juts look very plain and would rust like hell unless you painted it
    afterwards.

    That'd do it, but I think I'd try something less obnoxious first. Many
    hardware or cleaning-supply stores sell a citrus-based solvent, and it
    would be my first choice. And no, you don't want to remove the chrome.

    I've had success with peeling off some stickers and using washing up
    liquid and a plastic scouring pad to remove the sticky bit (obviously
    not a metal scourer as that'll scratch it). Worth a try before you go
    buying anything to use on it.

    You could use a heatgun or hairdryer and heat the sticker up then just
    peel it off

    Maybe you could just ask for them to not put a stick on if that's
    possible...
