Powder coating

[Flossyrockstar]

Thanks for all the comments guy,s Armatex it is, SHMBO is going out tonight so when I get back from work I,ll strip her down and do some before pix. Hopefully by the end of next week she should be back home ready for assembly. Thanks for the tip about the shiny top coat PH it, would be rude not too!

Colour scheme will be RAL 1021 (rape yellow), with black accessories.

I hope if it wasn't going to cover correctly they would phone me and suggest a different yellow. Emphasis on hope!!! ;-)

So here she is in crappy blue.
I can't get the bloody head caps off, looks like I,ll have to buy a removal bar from the LBS on Monday.

Do you have a long screwdriver and a rubber mallet?

You can drift the headset cups out that way.

Softly, softly catchy monkey

I tried the 22mm copper pipe with slots method. It seems to be welded to the head tube!

So here she is in all her glory, although I have taken the wheels off today for the winter bike as I,ve worn out the rims! Probably go for the Fulcrum racing 1s.

8 months ,....is that typical turn around time

I,ve had restricted funds, so the build had to wait.

eight months getting the headset out... blimey.

Splendid looking banana bike though
