If you look carefully those ridges are the Pinarello logo. As for stripping paint I used paint stripper bought at Home depot. One trick I use to make it work better is to paint on the stripper then cover the tubes tightly with Aluminum foil. This keeps the stripper from drying out and makes it work much better at softening the paint. I then use a disposable retractable razor blade knife they sell for about a dollar to scrape off the paint.
