Nice job!
How did you handle the repaint? is it just a tinge of paint in a clear coat?
Also, good weight starting from that frameset and wheels. Would you be able to provide an itemized list with weights?

Cool project. Have you only wet sanded to strip the frame or other methods too?
240, 320 and waterproof sand paper 400 and 600. Five thin layers of clear coat, waterproof 800, 1200 and polish.

Did you do all the sanding by hand or did you use (power)tools?
