Chris Kvale does superb frame re-painting and, if he can get the decals, excellent decal work. My friend Doug just had his Bottechia repainted by Chris and it is simply gorgeous. Chris is spendy, though- I think Doug's frame repaint cost him about $400. OTOH, Chris is the dean of Twin Cities frame builders. An attractive alternative is powder coating. The Hiawatha boys have experience with both local and out-of-town powder coaters (including a bike of Kevin's that was powder coated yellow with white lugs). Powder coat looks really good these days, is better environmentally (fewer volatiles) and is tougher and longer lasting as a finish. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
