I've always admired good, strong graphics on bikes. Not 1980's neon-like graphics, but strong tasteful graphics like those on Rivendells. A couple of years ago I bought a used Quickbeam that had been stripped of its decals but kept the head badge, and a little after that bought a used Box Dog

I used Champion powder coating which is in the Bayview neighborhood. It only cost 200$. I would recommend them based on my experience. I’ve heard that West Coast powder coating in south city also does a good job. They did all the frames for the now defunct Mission Bicycles, fro what I understand

Eric, Beautiful bike! (I, too, had a new Sam that I thought was too pretty.) Which powder coater did you use? Evan in San Francisco -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

J, your Sam likes quite nice as well. I dig the black with black accents. True to your surname. Jason, I think it’s unlikely that I’ll regret it, but I appreciate the concern. I only need one bike and this one feels more like my own since I built it myself. You want the Sam?? Joe, I agree wi

I understand the need for a low-key bike, but also not wanting an actual pedestrian frame. My solution was a Clem H with a bunch of decals. This solution looks like it must ride fantastically. I don't, however, condone selling your Sam H based on it being too pretty - I am betting you'll regre

If my Hunqapillar turns out to be my forever bike, I want to get it painted/coated black with no decals. I would probably leave the head badge, though. On Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at 8:00:55 PM UTC-5, Eric G@rs wrote: > > [image: IMG_1036.jpg] > Last year I bought a new Sam Hillborne from An
