I had Mason @ UPC in Chicago do the powder coat for me. They were fast (dropped off Saturday afternoon, was ready for pickup by midday Tuesday), cheap ($70), and super friendly. The finish isn't 100%, but I'm pretty happy with it (not much room for complaint for $70, haha). I highly recommend them if you're in the Chicago area and are in need of a powder coat.

Since this is clear over steel, there's not much that I could take photos of. There's a cool very, very faint yellow-ish tint in the clear that really gives the steel some character, and the brazing really pops out. I'm super happy to be off of a loaner bike and back on my own ride!
