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

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.

donīt 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.
That's WACC!

Measure it with calipers.

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

I ran ahead a bit and hid, dropped my jeans and took my top off and started chasing them whilst spraying beer all over them and making weird noises.

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

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?
Perform an act of kindness without posting it to social media. Love one another.
