Using this stuff I had lying around, found it's only really effective when applied and left for multiple hours/ overnight - not the high octane shit of
Nice job!
Which paint stripper?
Did you test the weight saving?

This is what i used. It, at best, loosened the paint/ powder/ whatever finish that Pre Cursas have. Tonnes of abrasion required. As referenced before don't expect the effects of old formula Nitromors where you just rub the finish off with a cloth and it just flakes off. It's a pig of a job if you want a good finish, which isn't what I'd call the finish I've got here. I didn't think of measuring the weight saving but I don't have the means to measure it accurately anyway.
The hanging on the washing line in the sun method shown above actually failed and gouged the headtube and bottom bracket nicely. I thought I'd pull the curtain back and give that warts n' all feel to this build.

I also hit it with the Dremel with a wire brush head to try and get a bit more of the black paint off the frame. It's a really thick, tough finish.
