    Price of powder coating?

    A guy near me did a frame for me for 50.00. He does pretty fair work. You get what you pay for. I would expect to get fork and more done for 200.00 It should be perfect with custom colors too. I always ask mself, Do I really need powder coating.. I just paint most of my bikes myself. Good Luck

    lacing question

    WOW, very interesting. I really never thought about so many options of installing spokes. Is there one that is stronger than the other? I guess it would be hold up longer or take more weight. Does anyone know?

    Lets see your winter bike.
