Its a Specialized Enduro- Thinking of keeping the rear black and the front metallic gold. I’ve had a couple of hardtails powdercoated and I’ve nitromored them myself and no issues but not a linkage/curvy one.

Issues? Tips? ….anywhere you’d recommend sending the front triangle to? No not Argos!

Sounds hideous. That is all.

why does shape make any odds? did you ride btw?

oh and

I watcched ‘Senna’ yesterday 8)

Let’s just hope you can find somebody else who is also in love with your new colour scheme, once you decide this bike is the source of all your riding issues…

I know that and its a highly personal choice. My Kawasaki green Chameleon sold well before it became popular tho 😉

Just spotted this on Oranges FB

BOOM! I knew I was right 😉

Both done at LSN in Castleford

Hi Tracey, this one? http://www.lsn-coatings.co.uk/

How much did you pay for the front triangles and did you have any issues fitting the pivot/bearings back in?

I’ve only ever resprayed hardtails you see..

Thats the one

Katies was £50, Abigales was £60 due to having the white bit done. That was for having full bike done including stripping and masking out. No problems in fitting them all back together

Thank you. When you say stripping you mean the existing paint not removing pivots etc?

Just the existing paint

Got it. Thank you 🙂

I’ve seen Tracey’s bikes in the flesh at work and was very impressed with them, so much so I wanted LSN to do my new frame but they don’t do the finish I’m after.

I’d have to post.. will see if can do this service.

Where do you live as I think the guy lives somewhere in West Yorks. You may be able to meet him some where near you.

Its worth a visit to his work place just to look at the colours and finishes he can do

A very good point.

Mark, they have loads of tubes already coated for you to see the colours. I’ve had 2 frames sprayed by them and they were both very good. Turn around was about 3-4 days including them stripping old paint. Both were hardtails.

Just a small bit of advice, get some old BB cups, seatpost and headset that can be left in when they spray. First time it was a bit of a **** getting the paint out the threads. They just put some rolled up paper in.

Good service tho.
