Progress! (the opposite of congress )

I used a combination of steel wool, an old camo pair of hunting gloves, a wire wheel for the coordless drill, and the fantastic abilities of the dremel and wire wheels. All remaining paint and gunk is now cleaned of the frame.

The dremel was the perfect tool to get around the frame lugging, and the drill helped with the sections of wider tubing.

A side note: When a particular bike frame painting guide recommends using a face mask and safety glasses while wire wheeling the frame...PLEASE heed their advice. My eyes are burning like satan's ***. Ugh. Clear eyes for the win.

Here are some updated pictures:













Next stop...primer and paint!
