hey there. my bianchi pista should be arriving in the next few days and those decals will be coming off as soon as possible. is it advisable to avoid getting paint stripper on any particular parts of the bike etc? for example, is there a danger of damage/dissolution of grease/lube in the bb/chainline or hubs?
what role does the blue tape at the base of the seat post and the headtube/toptube join play in those photos? i wouldn't have thought they would be especially sensitive areas.
also, it is the case that there is no other finish but polished metal under the clearcoat right?
thanks
