Guess I never heard of sandblasting and powder coating a frame for $30. where does that happen? My reference for quality powdercoating is
www.specturmpowderworks.com think $150 is about the base. Minor rust on the outside isn't an issue. Whats inside could be worse.I've seen some that suffered years of abuse and outside storage that weren't worth messing with.
