Thanks Phillip! I was looking spray.bike paints. Adding in the detail over
the powder sounds perfect!

Six years ago, I had a frame and fork powder coated for about $120. My son
did the contrasting paint with spray.bike colors. They worked fine; you
need to hold them a few inches from the surface, unlike a traditional spray
paint.

Thanks JohnS, that’s a promising number! I’d consider a nice powder coat
job for $200-250 a steal! Would probably be at least that for the fork is I
had to have the accent colors. But I have no idea these days.

About a year ago I had a frame and fork stripped and powder coated for just
under $200, which I thought was a bargain. The powder coat paint options
have come a long way since the last time I had a frame and fork coated
about 12 years ago. This time I choose "intense orange" which looks like
Thank you Rich, I bet it does! Nice and clean.
I sent a message to a local powder coating place to see if they do bikes.
There are a few options around at least. I don’t want to spend a ton or I
think Cerakote would be a great option as well. So thin that the lug
details would be even better
One of my bikes (single color) has two decals: headtube and a tiny "C" on
the seat tube. Otherwise clean as a whistle; looks great.

Thank you for the reply Garth! I live in Spokane Washington. It isn’t like
when I lived on the other side of the state and my bikes saw rain riding
for most months of the year, but there is plenty of weather in the winter.
It seems like it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to find a painter but
I'd say it depends on where you live, does price matter, what painters are
available, and as for doing it yourself, why not ?
I had my Bomba painted without any decals/logos mostly because I like
unfettered clean paint.

Thank you Joe, that is what I was looking for. Also don’t want to break any
Rivendell rules to go for powder coating. It seems like the way to go since
it sees year round use in place with wet and snowy winters.
The frame is reasonably scratched up as well though. Maybe I should just
have it
I think you're looking for "if it were me" thoughts from us so here's mine:
The first Clems didn't come with the fork accents and I think it looks
fine. I have a powder coater place in town so for a commuter/shopper
lock-up bike - which is what Clems are for! - I would keep the price low
