[#2074756]

I have an old Mercian which I fancy getting resprayed. I've contacted Mercian to get a cost and lead time...it's 8 weeks!

Can anyone recommend somewhere that can do a good job but with a shorter lead time?

Thanks

Andy

How about contactoing Steve Goff in Skelmersdale - his frames seem well finished. Or brian Rourke in Stoke. Or Paul Hewitt in Leyland.

Can't think of any other NWest framebuilders...
