Post by: hunterdubber on October 10, 2009, 09:21 AM
Just to show people the difference

I first tried to get my frame done , a transparent powder , but it was a total disaster , a big waste of money


heres some pics  before I had to get it totally stripped again, (more expense as I had to get it professionally done )

You can see the original HLT colour still on the head tube steerer , not like you need that to show you how far this finished colour is out  :crazy2:

I was gutted to say the least  :'(

Then found Neil was THE only person to deal with



With all the powdering ,stripping , painting, and numerous posting to and from places this frameset's finish stands me at around £300  :shocked:


But since I got it back on Tuesday , like I said before NOW the  result, is the best money I've spent doing this hobby  :daumenhoch:

CHRISTAIN  i spent over £120 buying some so called  harrry leary smoked powder from c4 labs . to find out it was nearly the same as your blue powder lacquer that was 1st on your frame . i am not slagging c4 labs as they are amazing with paint and powder but what they sent me was poo poo  :daumenhoch:

I'm likin' that  ;) , very good overall .

Have you just polished the cranks ? . If you get to do another set go for clear/silver anno after light polish to rid of any imperfections , I've a set here I resto'ed and will try and get pics up over the weekend . They look very close to factory finish  ;) , they were corroded like yours before .

Neil ,

Is the guy you're doing the road bike for gonna keep it for sentimental reasons or is he just gonna 'bay it ? . I ask because I wondered if there's a story or two about that actual bike and him or his family etc ............

Neil i cant imagine the pressure you have been under with this resto job :crazy2:

If any of those parts had been lost/broken or something other the guilt would have been large IMO  I sweat when applying decals for someone else :LolLolLolLol:

After all you have done the guy should be stocked and your skills are top draw buddy :daumenhoch:

maybe then neil give a resto a scan over before hand and give an estimate , in writing , to the owner , tell em the most itll be too , up to them then , if they accept  get a deposit off em , do em a deposit receipt with the estimate price on to and get em to sign it , you have a copy and they have one too

Well just keep hold of the bike till he pays up  ;)


How long would you have to keep it for before it legally becomes your property ,  ???


Then Ebay it , or sell on a vintage road bike forum ,,  :daumenhoch:


You'll get your fees back and , anything else you make would be a bonus . :4_17_5:

dont haggle neil or you will be peaved when he walks away with all your hard labour, and he will be laughing behind your back....
if you had a gentlemans agreement about costs, stick to it, you are legally entitled to keep the bike until he pays up as you have an interest in it...


oh!  and well done on the resto...  loks fookin amazing.... :4_17_5:
