    If you go into the cycling section og Boards, there is a thread about stripping and painting frames. As far as i know the best method is to bring it to one of about three places mentioned who will dip the frame in acid and totally clean it, then will powder coat the frame. I think the total cost was around 50-60 euro. Wekk worth it to avoid the hassle of trying to strip it yourself. I tried it years ago with Nitromors and stil have the burn scars !!
