    Re-Powder ... so many choices

    Have a quick look at this thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48618&start=15 I don't think the colours of my Clockwork will help with inspiration, but it is powdercoated with a pearlescent white wet paint fade and laquered over the top Cheers, Roger

    Mercian cycles and paint codes, painter in Nottingham area.

    Initially I phoned them, as they are based near to Castle Howard on the outskirts of York, just off the A64, which is a little remote. We spoke about what I had and what I wanted, which was essentially a refurb, but with powder rather than wet paint, as I had read about the problems with the...

    Campagnolo MTB rims?

    I have a pair of 36h Stheno's on my Clockwork, they are in daily use and I find it hard to find fault with them. I took them to be trued at one of the bike shops close to me and they were impressed by the quality of the rims and also the concave braking surfaces! Cheers, Roger

    Winter wear?

    I can also recommend the Endura Jacket as mentioned above. I used to use polypropylene base layers but got tired of the amount one garment can start to smell over a period of time, so I switched to merino and have used it for a couple of years now and can recommend an Australian brand called...
