I think a lot of people hate her actually but she's pretty hot.

lugs
 

I just picked my alien frame from being powder coated. And the lugs are still very defined, pictures soon.

Good to hear, looking forward to seeing it!

BUMP...

Will somebody please post pictures of their powdercoated frame or complete build, I'd really like to see one in pictures other than the thumbnails provided at alien's website.

Are they even shipping pc'd frames?

Yeah they are. But it seems to be a very slow process, as they pc them when they get them in. I'm still waiting for my 53 black pc.

Me too. Seems like forever.

i got mine in the mail but it's not powdercoated. planning on clearcoating on tues and putting it all together. i can post pics if people want.

the PC guy has a bunch of frames and it's up to him which colors he does and in which order so that it fits into his production schedule with other large commercial customers

So better hope you ordered john deere green or race car red

pikshures pleez

finally got an email saying my alien frame + parts has shipped. should have it in a week or so seeing as i'm in australia. will post pics of the build when i get it.

wow, now that's what i call a value-conscious operation.

****ing lame.

It's especially lame if you know how cheap it is to powdercoat something small like a batch of bicycle frames.

If you visit the powdercoater's website, it looks like they do mainly bikes (or possibly only bikes), and the Alien colors are from their stock color chart. So hopefully it isn't a matter of them waiting on a big order in a specific color in order to push some frames through at the end.

was about to post same top one.

now that i see it in white, i think i'd really love it if it wasn't for the ****ing ugly track ends. if it had normal track ends i'd like it.

I hear so many people complaining about the track ends on Aliens, yet way more who cite the early 90's Cdale track as their all time favorite (or damn near it) from of all time. Which one has uglier track ends, you tell me.

Either way, it's not a hard job to change out track ends and not an expensive one to have someone do it for you.

OH NOES! ugly track ends!

I just got my shipment email about my frame. I concur. The track ends are a little long. But it doesn't bother me.

so, are you guys gonna ride you bikes, or just keep your bikes in your bedrooms and stare at the track ends while fondling yourselves?

lmao haha

They are Long Shen track ends after all...

This is a rhtetorical question.

sorry to dig this up from old pages, but everything just got put together so i thought i'd share. http://velospace.org/files/IMG_6219.jpg

Nice, are those the Alien cranks too?

Fyi, your brake cable looks unnecessarily long.
