Nice work, always really good to start the long build with a nicely finished frame.

Yes, really satisfying. Can I ask who you used for that work?

Hi Sesman

Luckily i own and run my own company www.argoscycles.com, we mainly renovate and repair bicycle frames but have done some motorbike stuff in the past.

Are you thinking about getting into the motorcycle frame blasting and powder coating business?

We only undertake stove enamelling not powder coating as this is the traditional finish on classic bicycle frames and motorbikes. We can always do a motorbike frame and parts, except tanks.
