rainamobile continued...




freshly painted and ready to go. it really is amazing what a good paint job can do to a frame. i'm doing a lot of the building here at the office cause i spend so much time here so everyone has seen all the stages so far. and seeing the painted frame today, it didn't even register to some that it was the same frame. they thought that i had gone out and bought another one (as if i make that kinda cash..). if you're looking for a new bike, i would seriously consider either finding a cheap old frame to paint of even your current frame if it's in good condition. a little bit of paint adds a lot of snazzz. powder coating is an easy, inexpensive way to get psyched on your bike again. the only thing that sucks are colors. if you want it pronto, colors are limited unless you get lucky and someone happens to be having something painted a crazy color. in that case, they can just add it to that order. but if you want a specific color out than a black or white you're going to pay for it. but it'll still be cheaper than buying a new frame. s'what i did with an old frame i bought for 40 bucks at the community bicycle network. before and after. seeing raina's frame all fresh and clean, i'm considering getting my repainted white or something. stay tuned...
