outsourcing

it's end of october in the meantime. i tried to sandblast the frame at my friend wendell's shop, but the coat of paint turned out to be quite stubborn. btw, if you need the service of a fabricator of the very first order, i can put you in touch with wendell. if it's metal he can do everything with it. if he can't, it's not metal.

i went on a search for a powder coating place and after a surprisingly short mission i found an excellent shop in south san francisco, west coast powder coating, their number is 650-871-0400. they did a great and quick job with both the frame and the bodywork. within 8 days everything was finished for a very reasonable price. i decided to keep the old paint scheme, brown for the frame and orange for the bodywork.
