This powder coater is less expensive than anyone else ($65.00 to sandblast and powder coat a frame and fork) but I've seen quite a few frames they've done and their work has always been clean. It's no big deal, I can pop in at my LBS and use their tools (as I'm an emergency wrench if they are in a pinch) to surface the fork crown and I want to chase the threads on the B.B. shell and derailleur hanger too. I have a NOS 1" cartridge bearing headset that I'll press in while I'm there, just in case I need to remove more material off the race contact. Thanks again!

Peace,
