Armourtec Contact Details

anyone got contact details for armor tec?

i want to get a rusty old carlton shot blasted, powder coated and sprayed.

Armoutex Hackney: 0208 9862028 - Steve is your man.

do they do discounts on multiple frames? or, perhaps, only if they're the same colour?? reason i'm asking is i and a friend have 3-4 frames we may do next week, so if others are also wanting to get frames done, perhaps we could get a group discount.

thoughts - pj especially, i guess ;-)

oh god, here we go again...

i want to get frame done. however, i have to get FUCKING RIGHT SIDE of bottom FUCKING bracket out.

has destroyed chisel, also broken tool at AW Cycles.

hmm, perhaps angle-grinding is actually in order?

I am picking my frame up tomorrow, they were really helpful.

Is there website.

how much was it?

It is 45 for just the paint I think, or 60 including a clear coat of some sort. Steve told me this doesn't necessarily help with durability, but it does look much nicer.

Oooh, I had the same problem resulting in the frame sitting under my desk for weeks. I took it into Cavendish Cycles and there massive bike mechanic wrestled it out with a bike wrench.

keep you money pj, you've got other nice bikes!

??

so have you, and you dropped £250 big ones on the holdsworth....

and it looks great.

maybe i could just dremmel it and then paint it myself. that would be pretty fucking ghetto.

that was a worthwhile frame and 10x worse than that. only £175 anyway :p

dale, let the man do what he wants to his bike!

i know; i meant to edit it to say that clearly it was worth it in that case.

HOWEVER...

the carlton cost buttons. i plan to get it sprayed so it looks nice, then lugline it myself, then build it up really cheap.

is that so bad?

i recommend using the heatgun to expand the bb shell and then clasicc bb tool or hammer and screwdriver........for the bb cup removal that is...

Have you tried the homemade Sheldon Brown fixed cup removal tool? It does actually work. We just used one here at work to remove a stuck cup on an old Peugeot.

If you're anywhere near Farringdon, we still have the tool in the office...

can i borrow it? i thought about making one myself...

Should be ok - need it back pretty pronto though as it's not mine. Alternatively, bring the fucker here and we'll give it a go.

i'm goign to try a vice this weekend. if that doesn't work i'll give you a shout.

Got my frame back from the guys today, really nice job and well worth the money. When I have it built up I will post some pictures. The only annoying thing about picking my frame up today was the terrible weather and the stabbing which had closed a road in hackney, took hours to get back on the bus!

people always get stabbed/ jump under tubes/ die horribly at really inappropriate times.

it's so incredibly inconsiderate.

Exactly what I thought, think I will write to Ken and complain.
