Did you p/c your spokes too? Was the masking tricky?
-

With the seatpost, did you have to use a smaller size as you had it powdercoated, or is the layer think enough that it didn't change the diameter?

yeah spokes were powder coated masking took a bit of time?
as for the seat post its the right size just asked them to spray it thiner, also filed down the inside of the seat tube to get rid of the burs -

seatposts- if you aren't going to go white- try home anodising.
I'm going to make mine pink. -

I'm going to make mine pink.I have also been looking into home anodising lately. Not sure where to pick up the various chemical/acids/dyes though ?
Got any good sources ?

I might ask my old chemistry teacher- he was a legend.
We made fireworks, some other stuff, did that thermite reaction along time before brainiac heard of it,
made a magnet gun, which broke the labs ceiling, evacuated the science area (my fault), and again, and again (my fault).
Also had the bomb squad called to the school, broke several houses windows, set off every car alarm in a 500m radius (oxyacetylene in a balloon + flames).
And the best thing of all was liquid nitrogen. I love that stuff.he'll help I'm sure.

Dogs, have you ever seen a bike that you haven't found fault with yet? -

'nothings' perfect because you missed out the apostrophe (nothing's).
The word 'perfect' is perfect.
