Huh... I thought i remembered from a past build that you were doing your own powder out of your shop... but i probably have you mixed up with someone else. If I had my own commercial metal finishing business, I'd probably never turn a profit, b/c i'd be forever jamming up my shop, doing personal stuff. 
Oh, dang.... my ol' powder guy charges about $115 for a frame/fork in single stage/single color.... more for clears, flakes, and other effects.... but dude usually turns a frameset around in 2 weeks. Trouble is, he's reaallllly far away--- it worked out fine when I was in grad school and the stupid school was 20 minutes' drive from his shop, but nowadays?? Not so much. I'm about to try a new outfit in nearby Camden, NJ.... from what I've heard from reputable sources, they're both good and cheap.... but not so fast.

You change yourself these days, just go to the top and hover over "thread tools" then click "Edit thread".

Purple rims are back, I'll probably build these over Christmas break

Nice Sub...
love the rims!
Haha its a replica I got in New York years ago been bouncing around the garage for years.
I did some work now debating what color chain white, black or chrome. What do you all think would look best.
I still have to trim back the bars, set up the brakes and tighten it all down.

Nope with a growing family the bikes are taking a back seat. I told the wife I was going to finish the bikes on my build list and done.
I'm slowly selling stuff to fund finishing these out.
