84' GT Pro Performer UPDATE back from the powdercoaters
Swivel:
Afternoon lads, ok some of you may have seen the progress of my 84' GT Pro Performer (originally purchased from Rarman1 - Rob) which had the seat post stuck in. After weeks of bashing, heating up and soaking it done nothing, so my brother cut it out and replaced it. Top job also!
So the frame got sent off to the powdercoaters straight after this to Beta Powder Coaters in Hoddesdon, Herts. They charged me about £30 to do it, that included stripping the nickel off the frame (as it was originally chrome) etching it and then painting it.
The colour was inspired by Munners (Nick), it was his suggestion and also my missus to go with Black and I have to say, I'm well happy with it. The theme of the bike will be black, chrome and gold (stem, wheels, seat post etc.. no Tuffs for this baby!). I have a silver padset on its way over from the US now and I'm just getting together some gold parts. Its a custom build I know but I'm sure you'll agree, these are nice to do sometimes. The forks aren't correct and I'll never get hold of a set of Pro Performer forks for the life of me, but these are close and made by the same company. Overall very happy with how its turned out, what do you reckon? Once built up a bit more I'll wack up a few more photos.
Here is a couple of how it was and now how it looks!
Cheers,
Matt :daumenhoch:

How thick is the powder coat, looks a little thick in the photo's but they can be deceiving?

Swivel:
