Sticker removal
I just picked up an old Raliegh frame, it has all the clear plastic stickers on it. As I've created a fixed gear out of it I'd like to loose the stickers. Any suggestions?
I am going to be experimenting during the week. If I find something on my own I will post the solution. My first try will be Citris degreaser, then move to the GF's nail polish remover.

There's some stuff called Un-du which is specifically made to remove stickers and labels. Stinks something awful. 
Having used it, I don't know that I'd say it works any better than citrus Goo-Gone, which smells much pleasanter.

Try warming with a hair dryer/paint stripping gun then use plenty of white spirit and elbow grease.
