How do you get the black look?? Powder coating?

Had mine powder coated in satin by a company in Birmingham for the princely sum of Â£12
I actually felt guilty giving them so little for such a lovely item

Sweeeeeeeeet bike Ben! The sprocket is class... whats the story with the front forks - are they just covers that slip over the fork?

Cool.....

i like both looks... was it serious elbow grease to polish that much? or are we talking the right tools?

ps, i have a rear sprocket just like that one.....well funky.....
