Thanks!

 

Excluding the wheels and chair (saddle) the cost was R430.00 (powder coating) and the anodizing was free! (the monkeys never charged me).

 

Wheels:

 

NS Bikes Hubs where around R850.00

Halo hoops plus spokes and nipples and wheel build

came to R 1500.00

 

and that's about it.

 

Oh and it also cost me one hell of a lot in lost riding time!

 

I'm sure Father Christmas will still bring my assistant his

presentsLOL

That powdercoat finish looks even better in the flesh... maybe I can persuade him to give my ride a makeover  for Christmas Wink
