Trust me, you will not be disappointed not only does Dan do a fantastic job, spray or powdercoat but he's one of the best blokes you'll ever meet

but has been known to get a sweaty crack when excited by mr meacher

Hi Dan sorry mate i dont no where the message has gone, i havent picked the colour yet just trying to find out the originals but do you strip/blast them as well or do i need to certain prep before you get it, thanks again chap.

[superbikedan]

no probs mate,  if you can get it blasted prior  to me painting then it does help,

but i can strip it so it's not a problem,

[80sdave]

I dont know anyone who can strip it so if i can pay you to do all i would feel better but its up to you, also i have to get a brand new kona frame painted, its frame only brand new and painted from the factory but its green and needs to be a bright orange is that a colour you can do, i can supply pics and everything im just trying to make sure im not gonna waste your time.

Call him Poodlehead.  He likes that   

[80sdave]

Why is that are we talking big 70's perm ala kevin keegan

[TwoBobRob]

It's a long story.  It just came out of someones mouth one night and tickled us all - including Dan - still makes me smile now.

Dan's a pro. If the colour exists then he can get it.  He might ask you to choose your bright orange from a chart, if you're unable to get the code for it. But rest assureed it'll look the dogs once it's done 

[80sdave]

im not gonna mention the poodle thing incase he cuts me frame in half.

[TwoBobRob]

That could happen.....

[80sdave]

do you race in the 80s group radoffers or have you been to any of the meets etc, im quite up for it if its a laugh

[TwoBobRob]

Bit confused by that last post....  

Anyhoo, I'm a freestyler, only ride ramps and parks.  But yeah, get yourself along to a meet, they're a good crack and everyone's pretty sound.  If racing is your thing, might be worth you checking out the new Dagenham racetrack.  Get in touch with Ratty and look in the Old School Series Racing section.  Plenty going on in racing these days
