I will be using a 26" generic springer and a Sturmey Archer Elite VT front drum my brother picked during all those trips to the hunny hole in Somerset KY. I asked him to see if he could find some old bikes and parts near where he live and BAM! 5 car loads of bikes, rims, tires, fenders, parts...

The construction company I used to work for use a commercial cleaner called "Grease Gone". Sold on Carolina Chemical Manufacturing website for $81 /5 gals. It is food safe but you should wear eye and hand protection because it will remove your fingerprints too.
