Katakalism: Try RMC on 76th Ave, just west of 50th Street, they do several different types of paint removal, (various types of media blasting, chemical, etc)l, will be able to recommend a method based off what type/how much coating is on the frameset.

The bike isn't going to be painted afterwards.

What is the longest hill climb in the city? Road or off road?

My experience from Walterdale bridge up to Jasper Ave or from Walter Dale bridge up to 109 st high level bridge.
Just start somewhere from River Valley climb up to any main streets.

For off road hill repeats, Sunridge is your best option. Probably the longest climb would be from the culvert at the bottom of the refinery outfall (north of pogey / pot luck) to the top of the science park. For something more central, the trails north of the Equestrian Centre will let you do some good shorter, steeper techier repeats (The blue unnamed trails on Trailforks). Just watch for down hill traffic. On the east side, there are a couple good climbs up out of the Riverside Golf course parking lot up to McNally. Prime Rib is super tricky off the South West side, and a more reasonable climb just off the North West corner.

For road hill repeats in the city, the Emily Murphy, Victoria Park, Groat Road south triangle gives you options to dodge as many runners as you can, or search for the ERTC road loops on strava for some variety. The Devon climb from the highway 60 bridge up to town is one of the better climbs that isn't too far away.

If you want a beast of a road hill climb the one coming out of the E.L. smith water treatment plant is pretty vicious.
https://www.strava.com/segments/1609189

and the one getting there from the south is pretty good as well

https://www.strava.com/segments/909176

This one is good for a cx bike or mtb.

That said, be aware that this last segment IS in a no bike allowed ravine...

" No cycling is permitted on trails from Fox Drive to 23 Avenue"

This is true. If you're going to ride in there be respectful and don't ride at mach 1. You could also drop into that hill from above to avoid the no biking paths leading to it
