Hi,

Ive just found a crack round the base of my rc200 seat tube, again at the weld with the bottom bracket.

Can you pm me the cost of a similar repair if you were prepared to do it

Thanks

Martin

Not powder coat.

Re:

Yup, it is powdercoat. Good quality Austrian stuff:

Tiger Drylac 049/25002 Dormant Sparkle Copper with a gloss top coat. Colour Chart here.

There are plenty of lovely powdercoats out there.
Unfortunately, most of the companies who do powdercoat in this country are bogged down with cheaply painting girders and filing cabinets in greys and browns.

All the best,

Excellent work there.I love seeing frames most would consign to the bin being given a new lease of life.Ive never welded T6.Ive welded 7005 and that doesnt need retreatment after welding.How much furnace time/temp did you give your frame post welding?
