Ok, well last night, I spent best part of 2 1/2hrs "peeling" off the laquer and decals from my Genesis Flyer frame using a razor blade (thanks for the tip Build!), and that was just one side!
There´s a couple of small spots where I´ve been a bit too enthusiastic, but thinking/hoping that touch-up paint --- light sanding --- clear coat laquer will sort it all.
Its all looking really sweet, can´t wait to get the whole bike finished.
The only slight issue, is that the chainline is 6mm out, and I don´t see how it can be adjusted, I´ll have to wait till I get the chain whip/lock-ring tool so I can have a closer look. (the problem is the sprocket is 6mm more inboard that the chainring, and the chainring can´t be moved in any closer).
Anyway, stickers, off, a very clean looking bike. Will do the other side tonight :)
