Powder coated steel MTB

Spent the majority of the weekend rebuilding my freshly powder coated steel MTB. Rather pleased with it and it rides like a dream. Old style V brakes and rigid front forks so not your modern Aluminium bouncy disc braked yee ha, but pretty good really.

Used to have an older MTB with pre-Vs on it. They worked fine for me although they do destroy rims after a while.


ETA...I also have a steel cyclo-cross bike with disk brakes - very powerful and quick.

I've got an old road bike frame that I need to get blasted and powder coated. How much did yours cost?

Frame and two sets of rigid forks shot blasted and powder coated for £70 all in. I though it was a reasonable price and the finish is first class too.
