Okay, while the OP is off trying to find a strip-worthy frame, what is the general concensus on a good way (as opposed to finding the "best" way) for removing paint?

I've got a Centurion Dave Scott Ironman which a previous owner has already repainted (he didn't like the pink/yellow color scheme for some reason 8-) ). It is in need of another repaint due to poor paint prep and adhesion issues and the corrosive properties of steel.

I've heard of people using a torch and wire brush to remove old paint while being carefull to not overheat or change the temper of the steel and any brazing. I am open to other ideas, I want to avoid sand or media blasting.

Thanks for any ideas.
