Mr Fro Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 ...the forks will be going off to be enameled.I've not heard of that - what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 ...the forks will be going off to be enameled.I've not heard of that - what is it? They basically spray paint the parts and then heat it in an oven. After reading up a bit more about it I don't think it'd be as durable as powder coating, but the cost for having the forks done is about £75.Just a little more info:http://www.windridge.co.uk/content.php/444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know if it was normal enamelling or some swishy coating on the tubes or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Enamels on forks ? Surely a high risk of it chipping in that location . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WearsTheFoxHat Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Put off renewing my mortgage fixed rate until I found a job, so now that I have, spoke to them today. Went from 3 to 5 year fixed with a drop of 50 bps on what I'm paying now. And got £250 back from them for staying. And as the mortgage is split over 2 loans, that £250 became £500 (yes I know I am paying it really, but it still feelsgoodman).Unfortunately I can't put it towards a bike as I had to blow most of it on new suits....

Guest Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Oh haha my bad Mr Fro. Enamels on forks ? Surely a high risk of it chipping in that location . Yeah that's what I was thinking from what I've read. What do they normally do to forks? Any better suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 In my thoughts it would be fine for a Show bike that doesn't get used as intended . I think the general option is powder coating but as i say this is my thoughts on the matter with a limited understanding/experience of the processes . The company involved would be the best port of enquiry or others in the trade . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawsley Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 25% saved in Premium Bonds towards the next bike.I've never saved anything in my life. Ever. Not Krispy Kreme donuts, not 'the rest of the bottle of wine', not money, not nothing.I'm quite impressed. The prospect of not having to pay a monthly sum to a bank when I'm riding it will just make the grin bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black belt is a real bitch - I've got to go R1-L1-R1-square button-triangle-triangle-circle button-L1-R1-L1.Three times.
