Thought I'd post an update (and completion) to this thread. After ages of trying to find a powder coater in the cheshire area willing or able to re do my frame in a lovely pink colour I gave up on the basis of just not being able to find anyone with the colour I was after. In the end I took...

Never thought getting this done would be sooooo complicated....spoke to Withington cycles who do indeed offer a powder coating service, they send them of to some guy in Cambridge, turn around can be anything upto three months (!) but price isn't to bad at £85. Also been in contact with...

Doh.....not sure whether I've ordered the right sort of powder of ebay now!! Maybe this is more complicated than I thought. :( As a back up plan, I'm considering taking it to Brian Rourkes in Stoke for a Stove Enamel....£95 for single colour plus their website has a whole list of options, ie...

Ok so I've got my frame all stripped down and have managed to get over to JJ Wilkinson's in Shavington (just south of Crewe). Unfortunately they haven't got the RAL colour I was after.....baby pink (Ral 3015), don't take the p**s it's for my girlfriend. However they did seem to have a good...

Anyone had any experience in re-attaching a metal head badge, what did they use? Did it hold etc? The one I've just taken of seems to have been held on by possibly double sided adhesive tape, so was thinking of using something similar from NoMore Nails?

Yep will do. Though it may be a week or so before I get a chance to get over there, need to get the headset out of the frame I'm going to have done first and they're not open on saturdays.

Thanks for the replies. I've been doing alot of internet research and JJ Wilkinson do seem to get much positive feedback so tempted to use them. Have given them a ring and they've said around £50-£60, need to pop in and have a chat and see if they do the colour I'm after.

Thanks to the guy who's posted the link for my ebay sale and apologies for duplicating the thread.

Can anybody recomend a Powder Coater in the Cheshire area? I've searched the forum and Green Speed in Macclesfield were noted but I believe they've stopped trading?

As the title says there's an 1994 Orange P7 with Pace RC35 forks newly listed on ebay.....can't post a link as I'm not allowed yet but if someone else could do it for me I'd be appreciated. Ta.

Now for sale as a whole on ebay for one week only and no reserve. Search for Orange P7 Pace and you should find it. Could someone post this link into the correct forum for me please....I don't have enough posts to be able to do it? Ta.

Once again thanks for the advice. Think I'm going to sell it as a whole and to keep things on order on the forum no offers please. Once I've cleaned up up I'll list on ebay and notify you guys on here....I believe there's an ebay watch forum?

Many thanks guys. Seems like advice either way, to be honest I'm not trying maximise any return but would just like to see it go to a good home rather than languishing in the back of my garage. I'm of on holiday next week, once back I'll give it a proper once over and probably list it on...

Hi from a newbie, been an regular visitor for a while now and has given me hours of fun! I've just got my Orange P7 back after a long 'lend' to a mate and am thinking of selling it., but don't know whether it's best to break it into bits or sell it as a whole? It's an 17" Orange P7...
