Might as well ask this here too, what paint strippers have worked best for you guys?

don´t know how it is at you in the us, but in germany you can only buy strippers that you probably might be drink as a private person.
if you want to have a good and aggressive stripper that also strips original paint you have to go to a painter among your acquaintances that sells it to you illegal...

Just bought a road bike, what's the best way of finding out the seatpost size? Don't think it says on what it is. It needs a new one.

If that's out, try this thing called heirloom. It's also at CT n it's like 11.49 for a litre container. It's good for like 2/3 complete raw jobs.

Measure it with calipers.

Put your fingers around it. That big. Failing that, smell it.

Smells like a 27.2, slight hint of 30.1 though so I'm not sure.

Some old cheapy thing. Is red though which is all that matters. Attached a pic from the listing.

Kinchy · « **Reply #553 on:** January 15, 2013, 02:23:37 PM »

probably 26 or 27.something

Take it to a bikeshop, bikeshop employees usually don't smoke so their sense of smell is better

take your bike to the bike shop and have them show you what size seat post you need?
