its really easy. go to any auto parts store, and buy a can of "aircraft grade paint remover spray". shoot the frame with it in a WELL ventilated area (unless you want one hell of a buzz), go for a 30 min ride, come back, viola, you have a bare bike. then spray some krylon clear coat on and your good to go. total time, maybe 1-1.5 hours.

Here's a shot of my latest single speed project. I may just take some steel wool to the graphics so it can join BARE. Does a head badge count against?
