OK, I know it's a love or hate bike, but I love it, so, as I can't afford a new bike anyway, I thought I'd get it powder coated (the original paint was sh@t anyway!)
Its BS172 btw.

Shame they managed to powder coat the bb threads tho. Cocks.

what is it…apart from a frame of course…

nice , how much , as i got a patriot frame that i may get done.

It's a Shite Whyte.

I applaud your "colour" choice. Grey is cool (well almost in this instance)

*I have never owned, ridden or seen a Whyte in real life. No need.

It look even more like a Marin now.

Oh and it might snap now it's been baked!

sorry

It's a Whyte 46. Cost £40, but I'd have paid more if they listened when I told them which bits needed masking. 😕

cynic-al – Grey? Put your glasses back on. It's blue!

i would say it is more of a baby blue colour

lavender?

it is a very girly colour btw 😉

i did the same with mine:

I specifically stated that i didnt want paint in any of the bolt holes, headtube, bottombracket, pivot bearing areas etc etc And guess what they did- paint everywhere!! Took me all afternoon to scrape/file the paint out so i could get the rear axle, headset and bearings back in grrrrr (it did only cost me £20 though so i cant complain too much)

its a lot better bike and colour 😉

£40 is well cheap. Looks grey on my monitor.

Yeah, I suppose it does look a bit grey in that pic. I'll post a 'daylight' pic at the weekend when it's built up. 🙂

Its baby blue lawyer boy. Get a better monitor. Or eyes.

Any recommendations for the Manchester area?

Yes, a large nuclear device should do 😈
