Removing the paint was a pain...
I first sanded it down so that the nitromors can seep into the paint better.

Applying the nitromors.

Then I scraped the paint of using a relatively blunt razor blade.
A tip: sand paper won't do anything to remove the treated(nitromorsed?) powder coat because it had a rubber/silicon like texture so use a paint scraper or similar. Also, I heard that gasket remover is a lot more effective but haven't tried it myself.

Once I scraped off most of the paint I rinsed it to remove any nitromors residue and left it to dry so the leftover paint can be sanded later on

So I decided to put together a steel bike from used and unwanted parts. I'm not sure whether I'm gonna build it up to be fixed, single-speed or geared but I'll decide when I get there.
I'm gonna be posting images and info on the progress and hopefully things turn out well. Anyways thanks for looking, peace, God bless.
MJ...
To start off this is the frame, which I got from 'luckyskull'. He wasn't sure what frame it was but he thought it was Reynolds 531 or similar. Not too sure myself so if you guys have any idea drop a note.

Anyone here have the tech know how to do an App that all cyclists can have on their phones and report to the app a theft that will then alert all other cyclists within say 2 miles of where the theft took place. If anyone knows someone that can do that then maybe we could all contribute to such an app?
Just a though. I live in small village on south coast and even I have had bikes nicked from my garage nowhere is safe but when I get into london and see how many peletons of cyclist are out there I think an app would alert so many people that we could be catching them within minutes!Check this out. http://www.thetileapp.com
It's called the tile and I think it's a really cool concept especially if everyone were to use it. I'm not sure how you could secure this onto a bike but they may make a down tube version?Regards, MJ
