Olympic Powdercoating

put turner decals on it. haha.

 

I used to see the olympic guys at El Morro in the company f-150 all the time.
They ride so they appreciate bikes. They did my y2k Uzzi, and it was quality work.

 

Here's my wife's(shhh...) frame after olympic. I wanted to do a gold/red combo, but it would have cost me over 2 bills. One color w/o decals would look too generic. So I only had them strip it, and I can polish and paint it a red->plum transparent fade.

 

Yo your Kona looks great in white. Kona paints their bikes in the worst possible colors. Its like the shades of paint you see at the leftover bargain bin at the paint dept at OSH or Home Depot.
You know the ones that people choose, then decide not to buy it cuz it turned out fugly.
Anyway that Dawg looks sweet man.:beer:

 

but will it make you faster? :wave:


Looks good dude!

 

ah i was expecting an insult or something from you dude when I saw you replied :lol:

and no. It's still heavy as hell. As for the color, Kona Dukee Brown had to go.

 

It does match your handbag oh so nicely dude :lol: :?:

Does it come in a manly color?

 

Looks Kool in White Meng......

Hey Steppie is that tree on Thunder Mtn Utah???

 

Yes it most of the way up the climb, at the horse camp where the outhouse without a door is at.

I have a pic of my RIP on the same tree LOFL

 

Yep it is just a obvious place to stop and regroup.

 

BUMP, i'm thinking of taking my Norco in for some TLPC (tender lovin powder coat). i haven't checked the site yet, but does anyone know their hours of operation off the top of their heads?

 

800AM to 430PM

You can walk in any time and they'll help you out. Great guys.

 

Olympic is great! They told me a turn-around time of 1-week, but I ended up getting a call in around 5-days to come pick my frame up.

 

Isnt the Norco Anodized? Could make it harder to remove without damage.

 

im not too sure. here are a couple pix of it...



some nice rubbage on the downtube

 

Hmm maybe not, I know my Aline is anodized along with a number of the other bikes are.

 

Any idea how much an LBS would charge to take a bike apart and then put it back together after it's been repainted?

 

They've told me they can work with ano. But the caveat was that if it's a dark ano color sometimes they can't remove all the color and it could show through a light colored powder coat. If you do a dark color it's not an issue.

 

At a guess you are looking at $80-120.

There are plenty of guys on here who would probably help you out for a six pack though :beer:
