Day 2:: Sanding

I spent about 3 hours today removing most of the components, cable housings and cables along with some initial sanding. I was able to remove all of the paint on the top and bottom cross bars all the way down to the original steel frame. I found that I was able to sand away all the detailed areas around the bar fittings with a sanding sponge.
