Patience Bru, they're coming

 

I had a number of parts powder coated and some anodized

 

 

and swapped my Marzo 55 for Hillbilly's 66....

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

presents

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