Awesome job, Stubbsy! 
Loving the KCNC brakes. They look fantastic - do they work ok? Compared to say, an XT set up?
Hard to believe that this bike looked like this not so long ago

Re: fantastic
dont try to get the old paint burnt off as it will melt the frame :roll: to get the old paint removed i would recomend glass bead blasting as it is gentler on the frame than shot blast. i tried chemical dipping to get the paint of this one and it was a waste of time, make sure that the powder coaters you are going to use know about bikes and covering threads. i paid 60 quid for the powder coat and they did a great job
decals were from Gil and were spot on just what i was after
hope this helps
