kalex:
That brazing set up looks a handy thing to have, wished I'd known about them a few years back.

deeman:
Nice work on the dropouts Peter, makes a big difference  :daumenhoch:

Agreed! Fair play for having a go at it. Not sure I would have had the balls. That said, I recently took a circular saw to my snowboard! :D

BMX1973:
Super set up.

Cracking man cave too  :daumenhoch:

I have made a little progress with the Shimano 4000, but it is painfully slow. Super busy at work and doing very long hours does not help. I think I have had two clear days available for BMX in the last five weeks or so but things are due to change with the passing of Easter. I will be doing less hours and doing more play.

One excellent piece of news is that I was successful in getting my permit to purchase, import and possess pre-cursors to explosives and poisons. This means that I can start up my anodising again, and this time with more ambition.

I decided to send the frame and forks off to SBD, a 'slight' issue with a frame and fork I had done locally made me think 'get it done once and get it done right'. The frame and fork were sent to SBD raw. Here are a couple of shots of the bike at the powdercoaters prepped to paint:

The colour is Brazilian Blue, a very fine metallic. Under artificial light the metallic is barely noticable. I am hoping that in natural light it will pop.
