I hope your local powder guy does the buisness and gives you the result you want with this pal. I know £40 may seem a lot of money but it's very cheap relatively for the piece of mind knowing that you're giving your bike to the most experienced BMX powder coater on the game.
Fingers crossed for you buddy.

Thanks man. I have read Google reviews and his work is very good and he's a genuinely nice guy too. TBH the last guy who I got to powder for me did an amazing job he just over charged me something rotten. Which this guy is not doing. I'm just stressed about the cost of to and fro and so on. And the risk, as Dan said that couriers won't insure bike frames so you have to lie and tell them it's just parts etc.

OK so I got out the Buff and swapped the seat posts back. Not sure why I removed the carbon one.
Such a beautiful bike I really am humbled by it tbh. Any way, I now harvested the seat post that will be going on the Burner. It's fluted and really lovely. I also put the arms on the crank.
And TBH? I love both. I also spotted this after Avro posted on the museum trying to date them.. Looks like this one was made in '84 which would make it a great bargain @ £16. Every one else wants £35 for the bloody things.
Midschoolfool:
Started on this earlier too :)

NOS pad set came. Very happy, though the stem pad needs heating to stop it trying to go flat. Will do that at the end.
