I'd be happy to fit a pre-cut invisiframe kit in future. Probably wouldn't do what i tried this time and buy a sheet and cut my own templates to try and save a few quid. Harder than it looked!

No sign of the OP, probably busy with the helitape and a scalpel

I'm currnetly waiting on a new bike and decided to pay the extra to get it done and just use paypal 3 monthly payments to pay the extra.
Was going to try it myself but been told by friends who have done it in the past that it can be really frustrating, annoying, and can take hours and they all said they wouldnt want to do it again.

I have fitted invisframe before, when it's going well it's dead easy but when it is not, £175 seems like good value!

Saying that, I wouldn't pay £175, I'd just helitape the high risk areas and ride it.

I've used snakeskin custom wrapping, and he can wrap up to 95% frame inc forks/cranks for less than £175-00 and does a fantastic job

I've done it on a new hardtail frame with this stuff.

An evening or 2 spent sitting on the floor listening to music with a hair dryer, old credit card squeegee and spray bottle of soapy water, I found it quite soothing and enjoyable if taken slowly.

One tip I would give is don't put too much soap in your water, I needed literally a drop or two.
Too little and it dries up fast and the tape starts sticking before it's properly positioned, too much and it never dries out and the tape slides around for ages.
