Restoration of the smoke chrome finish on your Pro-Class frame

Sorry if I came across feisty in my message, look at the time posted, I was p*ssed and just got in. What a t*sser I came across as.. I was so wasted I am amazed I could type at all let alone post a picture. :uglystupid2:
As for the finish on yours it is great work and looks really nice. The finish on mine however didn't cost much at all. I think it cost me £15 for the paint and I did the work myself. I actually picked the frame up for free as it was in with a bunch of parts that I bought for £30 and it was at the time of receipt hand painted day-glow pink!!

No worries Sean, I often find myself with strange e-bay bids or web-sites on my history I have no "cough" recollection of at that time of night.... :angel:
Tosser status revoked mate. It's still a bloody nice bike you have there - I would love to have the patience to send all of mine off to be re-done, but I'd only crash it riding round a track, so it's never a good idea me spending too much on restoring :2funny:
I would happily say what I paid Mark to do the finish on mine, but he did me a bit of a favour, so I'll leave it for people to contact him for a quote directly as he owns Impreziv Finishes up in Darlington, so it's not just a hobby, he actally does this for a living. If my frame would have been in better condition beneath the finish it would be even better, but it was a bit scruffy so it is a bit more than cosmetic, but not much. You can all have a look next year at MK'09 when I rip round the track on it >:D
Cheers as always guys - Spen :daumenhoch:

Mark (I assume) - the finish was amazingly durable to be absolutely honest with you. As usual I dropped a few spanners and hammered the BB and headset in with the finest calibrated timbers and the bike is unscathed, so 10/10 from me :daumenhoch:
