I got the frame back from the powdercoaters yesterday, and I'm happy to report that this time around it looks great. The satin black finish gives it a lovely "factory" look that I really like. And in retrospect, the matt finish that I went for at first, maybe wasn't the best idea, since it might have proven too difficult to keep clean.
I got a few other bits and bobs painted as well. More on that later. Next up: compiling a list of all the bolts I need and ordering those from tastynuts.com. With the frame and the rest of the components looking as good as they do, I can't very well bolt it together with anything other than top of the line fasteners, now can I?
Krook Street Racing is my own little make-believe race shop. It consists of my garage, a growing number of tools and my imagination. I've now finished my first ever bike project – my Husqvarna tracker. Next up: a twin cylinder café racer. Stay tuned.
