Hi, thought I'd introduce myself before asking some advice...
I'm a new member here although I've been browsing around the forums for a while now as a guest. I've been thinking of going single speed for a while but this place has tipped the balance!
So... I've picked up a nice frame from ebay. Unfortunately the seller was less than honest about the condition of the paintwork, so I'm going to get it powder coated. Which is a pity because part of the reason I went for this frame was because it was a nice looker :(
Anyone know what kind of colour charts they use for powder coating? I'd like to see one online (I know looking at colours on a screen won't be too accurate but it's good to get an idea). I'm thinking powder blue but seem to be changing my mind every couple of minutes!
Also, I'm in the market for new wheels, preferably I'd like a flip flop hub (being a noob and all). Any pointers for a cheap option, or even better, anyone selling?
