Hey you powder coating people.
Just an update. I have dropped off the frames and finalized color orders as of about 30 minutes ago. If all goes well, I will be able to deliver frames to you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Also, you all each got your first color, except Derrick, who got strawberry scented Horse Cock Pink Metalic. I have no idea why they had it, but I knew it was for Ito when I saw it.

Hey Chris,
Just wondering if you've heard back from the Powdercoater? I'm looking forward to building up another bike...

Not yet, but I suspect I will either today on Monday. I'll call him in a bit to see how things are going.

I have a homemade one that is good enough for 1" headsets. I can bring it to the wrench party Monday.

a chunk of soft wood and a mallet has always worked for me.

Soft Wood, a mallet and a hole saw kit.
I have a 2x4 with the right size hole drilled out, come over and use it.

You guys get way too complicated. You just need a section of 1 1/4" steel tubing to use as a slide hammer.

Yeah, I talked to them on Tuesday and they we expecting them to be done early next week. I am sorry for forgetting to update the thread. I haven't been looking at the Internet much on my days off.

I haven't been playing it so much as I have been trying to waste less time looking at the internet every 10 min or less waiting for stuff to update.

I just got off the phone with him, and they are done. I think I can go get them today at about 14:00, or else I will go tomorrow.
More later this afternoon.

So everyone who gave me a frame is done except for Ben's. It seems his had a run or the powdercoating equivalent of it and they would not let me take it. Ben's will be done by Friday, but I can't make it there until Monday.
Anyway, feel free to call me to set up a time to get your stuff back.
Cheers!

Picked up my stuff tonight and it looks great. Got the headset installed in the frame and mounted one of the racks on it's target bike.
Hopefully I'll have the bike up and running by this weekend.
Thanks Nygard!

Frame, rack, and fork powdercoated via this thread.
It's great to have this bike back on the road. It is an older (1994) Bridgestone RB-T and it feels like having an old friend back.

Looks good Alex, did you steal the SON wheel from the Ivy Cycles or do you have 2 now?
What chainrings are you running?

That is the wheel from the IvyCycles. The rack came from it as well. I have a Shimano DH-3N71 wheel to build for this bike (it was on the IvyCycles when I was hit by the car) and will build a new rack for that.
The chainrings are 42/30t. The 42t ring is made by Sugino and came with the crank. I think the 30t one is an Avatar?, a guy on the BOB list sent me a few of them cheap. The crank is a 94mm BCD Ritchey. Cassette is 12-28 8sp Shimano, so I have a gear range of 29" to 94" with almost everything that I'll use on the outer ring. This is my favorite gearing for riding around Seattle.
