  Geared, STI shifters I believe they are called. So there is no need for the down tube shifter mounts, I just want to get a saw and hack them off I just want that nice clean look. :) i will be keeping everything else for example, the cable guilds.

  Thanks for your help so far.

  I am looking to refurbish this bike. First of all I am a newbie and hopefully the members of the forum will help me complete this project. I am currently attempting to strip down the frame to its bare parts.

  I am having trouble removing the seat clamp.

  Are there specific crank removers/bottom bracket removers that I need to purchase. I am also looking to buy a work stand.

  I need advice completely removing the down tube shifter mounts since the material of the frame is aluminium unlike most of the tutorials/videos/post which remove them on steel frames. I see many written posts about removing them, many of which say that you 'should leave them on' however they must go. I can't stand them.

  After that, I will need to paint the frame, I am looking into different ways and methods. Any suggested locations I should go to paint it? What method of painting should I use on the aluminium frame? Should I paint the frame myself?

  Thanks for any contributions to this thread in advance.

  How should I go about

  • removing downtube shifter mounts (I know that many people will just say ''leave them on/put a cover over them'' but I just want them stripped off completely!)
    
  • painting the frame
    
    

  The frame is aluminium and there doesn't seem to be much advice/videos/topics with this materials in comparison to steel so any guidance would be much appreciated.

  I need inspiration for what I am going to design next year for my A2 project.

  I could build a outdoor space or a new inventive product interior design, architecture, basically anything!! (model scale)

  Real life situations are good also, for example if a shop was getting refurbished, I would have to design the floor plan/layout. If a building was getting demolished, I would redesign a whole new building.

  It doesn't have to do with cycling also.

  Any ideas/help/contribution will be much appreciated!
