Re: [RBW] Re: Color survey! Would love some feedback, getting powder for a Surly Travelers Check

I'm in agreement with that. I'd say any of the colors as a solid would be 
better than any of the splits. I have a coupled All Rounder and like how the 
couplers' design evokes a continuity of the frame tubing 'underneath', almost 
like a piece of jewelry wrapped there. I think splitting the paint wrecks that 
illusion.

The turquoise/yellow reminds me of the Pantani Bianchi. 
What a tough selection!

My totally biased opining of the 4 choices is number 4, all lilac. Second 
choice would be an "other", all yellow. The split colors look like you took 
cut 2 frames and morphed them together, just odd.

Pastel Turquoise? I don't think so. Wish it had some actual turquoise in 
there, but I will still vote for #1. The world needs more yellow (and 
turquoise) bicycles. Snappy!

[RBW] Re: Color survey! Would love some feedback, getting powder for a Surly Travelers Check

[George Schick]

Well, not to take your post in a different direction, but the reason I 
asked is because I'm slowly growing somewhat skeptical of powder coating 
jobs -* in certain cases*.  I myself own a Surly 1x1, which is a PC'd steel 
frame, that I've had since '04 and I see no problems or issues with it. 
 Having said that though, I've had a high-end aluminum mail box that was 
PC'd and had to be replaced several years ago.  Complaints to the manf. 
yielded a reply suggesting waxing it once a year.  Mailboxes up and down 
the street by the same manf. have similarly deteriorated and had to be 
replaced or re-painted.  I also own a set of aluminum patio furniture that 
began to chip and peel several years ago and worsens as time goes along. 
 Just the other day, I had been resting my somewhat sweaty forearm on one 
of the chairs and when I lifted it, a chunk of the paint came loose, 
sticking to the arm.  The difference between the way PC jobs hold up - *and 
it's a big one!* - versus wet paint has to do with the fact that the metal 
surface has not been primed with PC.  In the case of the mailbox, for 
example, I took off the address plates and completely stripped them down to 
bare metal, sprayed them with a rattle can of etching primer, then applied 
some final coats of rattle can spray enamel.  They've held up just fine 
while the rest of the box deteriorated. I realize that wet spray jobs are 
much more costly, but they generally last a lot longer.   Just sayin'

In case people aren't familiar with the Travelers Check frame, it is a 
coupled travel framewhich makes it an easy transition for two-color 
paint...

Great question, George!

1.Wet paint would need to be shipped out adding another ~$120 to the price
2. Wet paint is typically $400 plus for one color (for anyone that does it 
often and well)
3. Powder is supposedly more durable/more chip-resistant than wet paint.
4. We have an excellent local powder coat specialist that is accustomed to 
bike frames that will do a single color frameset for $150, two color for 
$225 including a chemical strip AND sandblast prep.
5. Powder is a bit more environmentally friendly and less risk for the 
applicator.

I'd pick the #2 red/grey, t'was me.  But, just out of curiosity, why powder 
instead of a regular spray paint job?
