Started working on it today. Everything is shockingly coming apart very easily. Forebrake was completely covered in grease and dirt, cleaned up well so far along with the hub. Have the chain soaking in its 3rd bath of wd40.

Final update for tonight. Spray the front wheel with paint remover, let sit for 10 minutes, plastic brushed it off and then steel wooled the rust and residue off. Turned out pretty nice! Now just hoping the rear wheel will come out nearly as nice
So here is 5 minutes of wd40 and steel wool, recovered the original stencil on the fork! The paint came off without a fight and i’m confident I can take it off pretty much the whole bike with results similar to this. Now the question is should I take all the old grayish blue off and recover the original black or just recover the seat tube stencils and call it done?
