That looks great - I love wishbone seatstays. Out of curiousity what powdercoater did the guy use? I've used a couple in & around Glasgow with varying degrees of success - last frame I had done was at ESP, had heard slightly mixed reviews but it turned out really good, always keen to hear if there's anyone else that does a good job on frames as most can't be arsed & just stick to wheels...

My customer dropped by with his now clear powder coated frame and I built it up for him today.
Powdercoat is really nice. Seems a lot less brittle than the clear powdercoat I had done on frame 001.
Thought this was going to look awful with the Ultegra cranks but I don’t think it looks too bad actually. Cables still to be sorted, one of the problems of working in a velodrome is not having any stock here. The rear will be attached along the toptube using vintage style chrome bands as per the customer’s request. He wants to be able to run just a front brake sometimes and for there to be no extraneous guides or stops when he does so.
