No sorry, but I would highly recommend Argos in the Bristol area, they have a wedsite to look at. http://www.argoscycles.com/ I know three people that have had jobs by them; a pink yeti 575, a white cannondale hardtail and a Marin (forgot what colour). Each time they did a fantastic job and had the bikes original decal inserted under the final layer of paint.

Do you need to strip the frame down yourself for powder coating or will they do it?

Live in Surrey and just had mine powdercoated by windridge. did a pretty good job - not as good as the original finish but still not bad.

Turner 5-Spot done in Signal Yellow. Took quite a while to reface all the bearing surfaces, so would suggest leaving an old bb and headset in place (plus any bearing surfaces if a full suss), but with new decals is looking pretty damn good.

windridge has a decent website (well for a powdercoater!) with pricing etc. Comes in just short of £100 inc return postage. Check out my other post re 5-Spot respray for a pic, or let me have your email address and I'll send you a pic.
