Charges
Jacksons charge £63 for disc £16 for removing Canti's then £35 for altering cable routing, so nicely over a £100 then my local man would do the repaint. Have had re enamel done before and like Argos, it ain't very tough. My local guy? Even hitting it with a hammer won't chip it! Same finish used on MX frames and is chip proof and flexible.

I was at Chris Marshalls last weekend (JESUS WHAT A WORKSHOP THAT IS!), antiquated, full of paint, beutiful handcrafted bikes, a quiet grubby bloke going about his craft in a maze of steel and bike bits...... and in a workshop the size of your cellar, I was in awe.
I too have a 96 Cinder Cone that needs stove enameling with a rear disc mount. He wants 72.50 for the shotblasting and paint finish plus a bit for putting on new decals, and 30.00 for the rear mount and 5.00 for fitting. He will aslo remove, fill and finish the old v mounts if required, again I assume for a nominal fee. New mounts will aslo be charged at a fiver.
He has quoted me 3-4 weeks.

Shot Blasting
My local man is £35 for chip proof coating in any custom colour £50 for frame and forks including Vapour blast (Uses Glass dust so more gentle) turnaround 3 days or less!! He uses some special coatings, designed for motor sport use, way better than enamel.
Trouble is it needs all cables re routing too, so cost could run dear, I'll ring him tomorrow.

Re: Shot Blasting
Well, you could save some money by removing the canti mounts and cable stops yourself, just leaving the fitting of the new stuff to someone else.
If you can use a hacksaw and a file? - that's how they would do it.

Cindercone
Next problem is whether to stick rigid or Suss? Any idea what axle crown she should take? Think its a 96/97 model.
