The frame of your bike is the most obvious place to attach your decals. The top tube, down tube, and seat tube are all great spots to attach decals. You could also put vinyl stickers to the head tube, bottom bracket, or chainstays. Be sure to clean the area thoroughly before applying the decal to ensure it sticks properly.
