just out of interest really, would prefer to take it in somewhere rather than post to Argos.

any good places round shef/derbyshire? and any to avoid?

thanks

i'm sure i saw one near to SMC Sheffield Motorcycles. I can't remember what it was called…(http://www.smcbikes.com/location.html) … No idea if it's any goood though

Express Coatings is the one that Hans Rey has seen and we've had a few things done there with them doing a good job. Not had a frame done but I know they have done frames

Not the one by the incinerator, they did my hardtail, and while is powder coated, it is very very thick and run in places, and bubbled at the BB. Only £20 though (plus £30 getting various bits reamed/faced)

Paid £50 for my last one and the quality is top notch, can't fault it and dont have to pay £30 getting the faces re done.

thisisnotaspoon – where did you get the good one done then? express coatings?

I've heard good thingd about express coatings too

naaa, it was a place on Cardif road in Reading

Dont know if Castleford is too far but would reccomend the guys in my link.
