Current Projects chat and miscellany

Just got back from picking up my Plume Sport frame - having had some repairs to the seat-tube done.

Before (not a very good pic unfortunately):
I really don't want to blast the frame again as it's old steel. Maybe if i could find somewhere that could do it gently with glass-beads i would. But for that reason i'm not sure i can get it powder-coated, and instead i'm gonna have to settle for wet-paint.

Most blasters use glass beads. Sand blaster are only usually used for heavy industrial stuff.
