I have a 653 Rourke frame which is in need of a repaint as it is going to become my winter steel bike.
Ordinarily I would go straight to Argos as they are local and do a super job, but their prices have gone up to £160 for a frame, which for a straight single plain colour I think is a fair amount.
So, are there cheaper options for paint, Vernon Barker for instance; that would involve the phaff of boxing and sending and then having it sent back and all that, or maybe find a good quality powder coater, there are loads of them around here.
It is a very light frame and I want it to stay that way, but I also want a good degree of protection.
Your thoughts and experiences please.
