"CiITRISTRIP Safe for Indoor Use, No Harsh Fumes, Strips Multiple Layers"
I let it sit for most of the day, and some of the logos needed a bit more elbow grease, but it turned out great. As far as the paint job goes... Can't say which way its going now... Had a little issue with my method of painting.

If you ever need to strip a frame again use Diedrich 606. It is a masonry and metal stripper. You apply it wait about 12 hours and hose or pressure wash it off. It is very different than conventional strippers that just bubble the paint. It turns the paint layers back into liquid form. It will take every layer of paint off and every speck of paint off with zero work. Be careful though it will burn straight to the bone so keep it off your body.

Araw: I think if you want to get some stickers, Try doing to envolope trick with fatlace, Idk if they still do it. But you send them a letter with extra postage stamps and they return you with a maillist and a sticker.

I'm about 5'7" I believe. My seatpost is fine for me. I think it's just the photo that makes it look tall.

Aside from a 42t chainring, I'm done. I'm glad we finally got a nice day out to do some real riding, despite a foot of snow a week ago.

39t. Currently running 39/15. Now that my cadence has improved, I'm going to slowly start increasing the gear ratio as I get stronger. I've got a long way to go before I'm back to fighting weight.

Just need to get a brake caliper for the front, hook up the brakes, new tube in the rear, most likely a different seat...and then its good to sell.
OR
Perhaps I might just strip the entire bike one last time and then sell it, as the spray can paint job didn't turn out as good as I would hope.

Since gas is going up again, I'm going to start riding again. Due to having bad knees(torn meniscus) I plan on riding free wheel, and adding either a Front or Rear brake? It's getting harder for me to come to stops, especially where I live. I have 3 hills where I need to go down and its quite steep. What would be better? Right now I got 2 adonized eightinch rims. If I add a rear brake, I'll put the anodized one in the front. If I add a front brake, I'll put that anodized one in the rear. What would I need to do to convert it to free wheel?
