Powder Coating Anybody? (Norwich Only)

Ok. I may have to pull out. Gimme a bell tomorow and I will find out for you. M

Pretty straight forward question, I'm thinking of going Royal Green like an old jag ya'no.

Anyone know somewhere in/around Norwich where I can get this done without it costing a small fortune. I don't mind travelling as I've got a car.

cheers.

I had my frame powder coated at this place,

my brother recommended it too me, he is into land rovers in a mildy disturbing way and had loads of parts done there previously. I found them to be very helpful and quick!

Hahaha. Funny you mention that. My mate works there and I can get good deals. Check the Powdercoat thread in the NVS forum for colour chart and available colour list. Would be looking at around $30 for frame and forks.

Oh yeah and if you have a car... Even better! Yay! There are an aweful lot of boys about who want their shit powdered.

Sweet

I want my pug to get sprayed, nice royal green. Got an issue though as I really don't how to take a headset apart. Is this a problem?

Now finished for Christmas so looking forward to some riding.

Tell you what, come to mine and I'll get the headset off. I have a frame to do as well, we can get them done at the same time - you drop off and I pick up, or vice versa. Win-win.

I will have mine done too as long as transport is there

sweet sounds good to me, when you thinking?

ASAP chap - been sitting on this lovely Thorn frame for months and would like to get.... sitting on it.

Tell you what - I have the car today... Give me a bell? 07974 918855

Damn only just read this,

I can't really afford it this month now as I went shop shopping at the weekend and overspent.

Buy anything nice?

Yeah got a new suit, also got a car which I'm gona pay off the end of Jan so money has been a bit tight recently.

Also looking forward to moving to Norwich so I can go riding much more.

p.s. Snow is coming down thick and fast now!

I dropped the bike off at the coaters today. Going to take a week, will let you know how they do. Cheap, though; £45 for frame, fork and rack.

Not bad. Looking forward to seeing the finished bike. What colour did you go for?

Candy pink. And if you don't believe that, you'll just have to wait and see. Can't wait to get the bike built. It's going to be a mile-muncher.

Some of the roads out there hadn't been ridden/walked/driven since the first snow by the look of it. Gorgeous. Even after a couple of weeks of snow, these roads took me back a bit. Like Narnia, but fucking dangerous. Went down hard twice. Same thigh both times! Perhaps a track bike and 23c tires aren't the perfect winter combo...

Good to get the miles in though...

I believe you. Pink's your favourite colour after all, you big gayer.

£45 is real good.

I only need frame and forks doing, might have to come meet you before long so you can take the headset off my bike, pretty please? I have no idea when it comes to headsets.

I've really wanted to get out on the bike at the weekends but with christmas and stuff I really havn't had a chance too. This weekend is a must.
Yeah I was riding the pug with 25c tires (first time i'd put them on) and was slipping about like crazy, only did a couple of miles and almost fell off!

Bring on spring!

I'll take it off, no problem. I have a range of hammers here, to suit all sorts of jobs...

Where are you going at the weekend? Group ride, anyone?

I'm not in. Not after last friday night. Well cold and tracherous. Was good though.

Did you drop off at Colourcote?

Any pictures of the bike yet?

Yet to be picked up. They're going to call me when it's done. Not sure how I can get to it if they aren't open on weekends, but I'll cross that bridge...

You should bike there and take a strap woth you... Ride back with it like a messenger bag. That would be awesome. Did you go to ColorCote?

That's exactly how I dropped it off. In a few inches of snow. The guy who dealt with me said "you must be mad", and his mate said I should buy some gears...

But if they only open office hours, then I'll be stuck in my office, and unable to pick it up.
