Great frame, and YOUR wheel set is something else!! The checkerboard is ridiculous!!! Love em! I'm also digging your RRB swag,, pretty cool!

[CCR]

Thanks man, I think youthgeye is right though, everyone seems to be pulling out all sorts of crazy wheelsets and tires this year

[MplsCoaster]

Get inspiration (that truck is perfect), cool wheel set, Classic frame.
Looking forward to seeing you pull together

I'm on the edge of my seat

Spent about 30 minutes on the bike today ... not much but its a start





almost got the other side sprayed but ran out of stripper



soooo close ...



... but that was all she had left



Not far off but I've still got the chainguard to strip and would like to hit the tight spots a little better first, so this is were I'm at until tomorrow.



I did find a full can of oven cleaner though so I think I'm going to try that tomorrow and see how it compares.

Good comment to add man, the can says to relocate the family dog, call the fire department, spend all your savings and get right with God before use.

clear coat and run with it!

Evidently I had the "choke in a cloud of lemon freshness" oven cleaner and not the "melt your face off while your friends watch" oven cleaner Still toxic as all get out but barely put a curl in the old spray bomb job. Started cleaning up by hand until my boy convinced me to go get a slushy down the street. There are priorities involved here even I can't deny

Oven cleaner results ...



Quick hit with the orbital

tried the lemon freshness kind myself all it did was tick me off

[CCR]

Agreed man, I never want to smell or taste another lemon as long as i live. From how potent it was that first breath in I thought surely this stuff is going to work ... not so much.
