Nice catch! What make is the drive hub?

What are you using for paint removal on the frame? I'm currently redoing a Varsity which has had its chrome rattlecanned silver, and the frame bears a lot of overspray. The polishing compound is working fairly well, but I'm always interested to learn a better way.

EDIT: Just found your other post about this bike which answers all the questions, so I'll just dig around in there.
