Chris.

I used these about 5 years ago, very good and I would use them again. They are a decent size company and recall they weren't expensive.

Good luck.

I’m planning on using them as well.
Got a big pile of bits to be stripped and powder coated for a GPZ.
I spoke to them and they said they have done many bike bits before. I said that I needed the frame number to show afterwards. The bloke knew exactly where I was coming from and said he could accommodate.
Only problem now is I’m not supposed to take the stuff down in the latest lockdown !

Hi

Not yet. Got sidetracked then Christmas got in the way.

Just got some blasting and powder coating done a little way out of Hertford in Letchworth at Full Range Finishing Ltd.
There was a frame and 36 other pieces plus the frame needed a crack welding near the back.
Cost £275
I said the frame number needs to be visible as it’s a US import I still have to register. They just masked off the frame number so it got no coating. Not sure if that’s the normal approach.
There are 3 bits I’ve got to take back. The yolks are rubbish around the edges where the forks go through and one fork leg has a run.
Apart from that all good.

That seems like a good amount of work for the money. Was it all powder coated?

Yeh Stu.

Took them a pile of 37 tatty pieces and got it all back as shown in the pics.
Went back today with the 3 bits that were not right. They apologised and said they will be sorted by the end of the week. Bit sloppy though they even gave them back to me like that.
