Slimfast Baz, did they cover the BB threads up?
It's got an EBB, so not on this frame. They have in the past on other frames though...

cost me £100 all in. a few imperfections in the finish but overall its acceptable. threads were masked off and it was dipped rather than blasted to strip it
what is that barry , a rig?
Not the best pic, but there it is, powder coated gloss black. Done in 03 or 04 by ABC Powdercoaters in Nailsea, just outside Bristol. I did no prep, they shot blasted, masked etc. Jobs a goodun, tough as old boots if a little heavy compared to the original paint which was waffer thin! Cost was 25 or 30 - dead cheap! I'm now living in Berkshire and would love details of any good matey powdercoaters in this area please, i might fancy a change of colour!

It's a Charge Duster Mick, cheap and cheerful!
Rob, was that done in Sheffield? I'm after somewhere to do the front half of a DH frame.... If it was in Sheffield, where and how much?
no pictures but I took some forks to an ironwrought place round the corner, the guy beadshot them for a tenner. Then I took them round the corner to a powder coaters and they coated them while I waited, another tenner. very happy with the finish, much easier than doing any of it myself.
It's a Charge Duster
With an EBB?? didnt know charge made one with one of them!!
Paule,
I had my inbred frame powdercoated by 'Batchglow' 01909 563051 in Dinnington, it was £10 for shotblasting and £10 for powdercoating. Although this was a couple of years ago I would let them loose on any of my frames again, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I loved the ride so much I changed everything apart from the f+f:
Hope minis
XTR wheels
Thomson post and stem
Brooks saddle
Marys
WI crank
I see, well it looks great! might have to keep my eye out for one.
Good looking finish on these. Any chance someone knows of a good place to get a respray in London? This would definitely have to be something done with a recommendation, I'm getting a chill even just thinking about what could go wrong...
looks lovely barry , someone else with eye out lol
