Can anyone recommend a GOOD anodiser in Essex, nearer to Chelmsford area the better!

Also what sort of moolah should i be paying to get a seatclamp, headset cups, stem, set of brakes and levers stripped of current colour and redone?

You may get a no no on the headset. I don't know about the alloy hatta's but the tange 125 has a steel bearing race in the cup. I don't know how difficult they are to remove but if you can't get it out, you can't have it annoed. The steel will just perish in the process. If you send it to paul at custom he will explain all this to you. Also the red, silver, gold and black are all cock on but blue is no where near the blue from bitd. I went to custom a few week ago to take some bits and have a chinwag with paul. He explained about how some of the stuff from bitd had better alloy than others and is more receptive to anno giving a better finish. The blue rims he does seem to come up the doggy's danglers but the brakes and stems are not that close. As i said the other colours come out great. While i was there he showed me this red suntour power stem he was about to send out. The red looks

The blue turns out rather flat looking and doesn't have that coloured metallicy tint.
