Ordered a Phil Wood BB tool to fit the bottom bracket. The stem and fork had nearly fused so getting the headset out was fun. No damage to the bike, no blood, no profanity. Time to get the old paint off and new paint on. _________________ Jerry Milwaukee ,WI   Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 11:13 am Frenchbuilt Joined: 18 Apr 2007 Posts: 443 I sort of like it in black (joke) Paint remover   Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:24 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area 3M Safest Paint Stripper http://www.3m.com/product/information/Safest-Stripper-Paint-Varnish-Remover.html Works well and is "relatively" safe to use.
