I have a steel road bike,and am getting it refurbished. My friend is a framebuilder so can do most of the work, but I need to get it stripped and painted elsewhere. I know that most resprayers will also do the paint stripping, but ideally I want to give my friend the bare frame so he can properly check it over.
So, does anyone know of / have experience of a sandblasting place in the Huddersfield area that will do a good job on a bike frame?
Bump
I would avoid sand blasting if possible. Have a look for a chemical stripper instead. It's a lot friendlier on a frame than an over zealous sandblaster.
i used this guy to do an old commencal meta and a 97 heckler..

He soda blasted my frames.. its less brutal than sand blasting.. but costs a bit more..
he did an excellent job.
Thanks for the info, looks like vapourblast is a good option.
There is a soda blaster in ogden in Halifax. Much friendlier on an old steel frame.
