The frightpig dave is just a leg humping troll who doesn't ride
anything other than legs on the internet. He just sits around smoking
pot, netstalking and trying to rag on me.

No, I like to complain about garbage and that's what harleys are,
yuppie garbage. When a bike half the displacement of one of those
junkers can blow them off of the road in the whole gamut of
performance, I call them what they are, junk. Buying into "mystique"
or a name is just as foolish in the bicycle realm. That said, I don't
own a hd, will never own a hd and would not ride a hd if someone gave
me one. I ride a motorcycle, not yuppie hype and have been riding 27
years.

If you picked it up at a yard sale, it's not carbon.

If it's aluminum, avoid using heat, and use care in employing things
like paint stripper, particularly if the frame joints do not show
obvious signs of being welded. Never use paint stripper on a
bonded-tube frame.

Do not try to remove the paint. Just paint over the top of it, if you
must paint it at all.

You could probably sell the frame on eBay for $500 if it's not badly
nicked and scratched.

I accidentally made a fixie out of my bike for a couple of weeks back
in the '60s, and swore that I would never, ever make that horrible
mistake again. They're not for everybody.

More like driving a car with a manual transmission whose clutch has
failed, IMO.
