needed a new beater bike & didnt feel comfortable locking up my leader or dolan (I am paranoid). So I ordered a SE Premium Brew 61cm & plan on stripping and clear coating the frame - as seen here - any tips on stripping it and clearing it? This video gives me a good idea - http://youtu.be/8fIR5irOLd4

why it picked it over a kilo - I want front & rear brakes, the pedals looks better, the only thing I think I will have to upgrade is the saddle. I'm ok with the wheels being heavy as it will be a pothole friendly ride.
