Oven cleaner? you got to be kidding.
You would be better advised to rub it down than soak it in oven cleaner.

Most bike frames and parts are poorly anodized with less than 10microns. Rubbing then down won`t take any time at all. And you will get the finish back – something stripping it with caustic wont do.

Caustic soda, takes about 25 seconds. I did it with some chainrings and cranks and then polished to a mirror shine.
Drop me an email if you want me to talk you through it and send you the pics.

Thermal Deburring will do it. 🙂

Cutting the frame into small pieces might be a faff though.
