Can anyone recommend where I can get my Stumpjumper resprayed? It's currently with Chris Marshall in Keighley, and has been for SIX weeks!
He initially told me three weeks, which seemed a bit long, then he added another two weeks which has now stretched to six weeks in total.
It's now 13 May and tomorrow I'm off to collect the frame, regardless of what condition it's in.
I'm not even convinced that if he has sprayed it that it'll be correct shade (Shimano cyan).
Help!
Triple S in Bingley for top end results
Bob Jackson Cycles in Leeds
Thanks tmb467 and davesaurusrex: Not heard of Triple S, but they'll be on my way home from Keighley. Assuming the frame hasn't been lost.
Bob Jackson. Absolutely top workmanship and service. Beware they'll have a lead time too, but it's unlikely to be six weeks!
Triple S do a good finish but it's expensive and there's not much colour choice at all.
Paint or powder coat?
If you want fancy paint (including painted graphics etc) then Cromaworks would be my first choice.
I wouldn't recommend Triple S, I was quoted just over £40 plus VAT, ended up costing me £93 as they neglected to tell me about the £20 acid bath, disappointed tbh as the finish is excellent.
Yeah I know! Triple S did a stem and forms (rigid) for me a few years back and it ended up being £60 ish. LSN Castleford is the place to go for powder coat.
LSN in Castleford is my stock answer to this..!
Great finish and pretty cheap..
had the front triangle of my missus's heckler done at triple s and the finish isn't as good.. chipped off in a few places.. wouldn't go back there.
And it cost £50 for just the front triangle compared to £35 for a full frame at LSN..
Pageus powder coating in milnsbridge huddersfield, they dipped blasted preped and powder coated a full sus for £60 Went to pick it up and they had prepped the axel and bearing cups the bottom bracket had been reemed and the head tube faced.
Blimey^ noted for the future
Triple s good but expensive and not interested in letting you apply graphics before applying lacquer, and you must pay cash and couldn't confirm price until job was done. With the final the size of the fimal bill from them I wish went to bob Jackson.

It ended up being a lot more expensive than they said initially with me..... load of rubbish I reckon...
Hmm, it now looks like it's going to be Bob Jackson especially as they are a bike shop so should know what I want.
I've had no problems with Triple S. They cost more then LSN (who are also very good) but the finish is better IMO. I've always payed the price quoted (£60ish for a HT) which included all frame prep.
For wet paint Bob Jackson is the one.
I had a frame done at bob Jacksons finish was great. Had metallic fade and hand painted lugs. Wasnt cheap but was lovely
My mate rates the place in cas as hes had a lot of motorbike stuff done there
I'm getting [url= http://cromaworks.com/ ]Cromaworks[/url] to repaint my Yeti at the end of this season. I need to spend some time designing the scheme...
LSN and Midas Touch in cas are both meant to be good. I've had alloys done at midas touch, good finish and good lads, and told me they'd do a bike frame for £50
My default answer to this, despite what others have said, is Triple S. I've used them twice now (same frame - got bored of white, went black, then got bored again a couple of years later and went yellow) and cannot fault them at all. Yes, not a massive range of colours from stock but I think they can get any RAL colour in on request.
Was circa £100 for strip and re-powdercoat give or take a couple of quid. But that was with everything properly masked off. They normally specialise in car and motorbike restoration stuff so they know what they're doing with bike parts.
I've also had a couple of frames done on the cheap and they both suffered from 'orange peel' effect, overspray into areas that should have been masked etc.
I'd definitely use Triple S again without thinking about it...
You get the same service, and even better, from LSN, for a third of the cost. I know as I've used Triple S and LSN but I'd never use Triple S again. £40 from LSN for frame/forks and 2 stems all properly masked with astonishing quality of finish which most people swear blind is normal paint. That's for a metallic fleck silver finish. Nice thin coverage so you can still see frame details and stamps.
+1 Triple S. I went for gloss black. Easy to touch up the stone chips later on, without the problems of paint matching.
