My subtle new colour scheme, courtesy of a powdercoat from W H Paints of Mansfield:

I enjoyed removing the unnecessary braze-ons and making the graphics, and I think I'll enjoy riding it... But feel free to flame!

no back brake, shopping bike bars and a bell - it's a town bike isn't it?

oh, and that's quite a lot of spacers 😉

Well it looks a bit crap because of the shopper bars and the front QR is on the wrong side (plus no back brake but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just haven't fitted it yet rather than being a fixie**** ; ) ) but I hope you're happy with it because that's really all that matters. I do like your decals though maybe they're marginally 'LOOK AT ME I'M KERAZZY'

😉

Well, you did ask 🙂

love the colour! you cannot go wrong with a garish colour scheme (in my opinion) my duster is a vivid lime green 😀

What did the powder coat cost you? The paint place isn't far from me.

Thanks for all the pink-love, folks 😉

Tron it was only £35 for the strip and re-paint, frame & fork - seemed a bargain given the quality of the job, and they were friendly people to deal with. I did a lot of prep work to preserve the threads and innards myself, though.

After seeing this happen to a hand, I always put my skewers on that side!

'LOOK AT ME I'M KERAZZY' exactly, LOL.
Looks grim to me, but enjoy it.
