    Hello, my friend generously gave me a Moulton series 1, but it needs a bit of TLC. In particular I need to strip the frame back to the metal, as it has a coat of hammerite on it that is partially flaking. Is there a safe way I can do this, or do I need to take it to a workshop? Many thanks.

    If you are getting the frame powder coated they will often prepare the frame for you as part of the process. Or if you want to paint it yourself, perhaps look for someone locally who does soda blasting. Either way they will be working with the dismantled parts (front and rear forks, frame and rack) rather than a complete bike.
