 MMMMM Micro knobbies my fav tire. Especially on dirt. Our trails are tacky enough to run them esp on the rear. It's like cheating. Loving the grape kool aid!!

 Yeah, the micros on good dirt are excellent, indoor skateparks they get a bit slick on though...

 Unfortunately no skate parks here. Maybe I'll road trip to mess with you. What's a four hour drive to ride?

 You forgot to put on your pedals!:P

I like how it turned out. Normally I'm not a fan of purple, but it just seems to fit on this bike.

 Haha, no, theyre white, but the auto white balance of the camera under the green fluorescent lights must have made the white magenta lol

 what did you put over the frame once you rawed it? like a clear coat or what?
such a sweet bike anyway!

 Thanks man, and I first chemically stripped, then "distressed" the frame with die grinder abrasives, sandpaper, then clear powdercoat. Any clearcoat paint is porous, so you get little veins of rust under the paint after a while, whereas powdercoat isnt.

 okk, i was thinking of doing this but my dad (he sprays cars sometimes) said that if you just put a clear coat on it doesnt stick well and flakes off easy, have you had trouble with that? or is it fine?
  • 1 0
 thats 100% true... for paint. Powdercoat basically ends up with a sheet of plastic melted onto the surface. It doesnt come off.

You spray charged powder onto the frame charged opposite of the particles so they stick to the frame, then it gets baked to melt the particles. It doesnt rely on evaporation of VOCs or anything like paints do.

 ah, ok so if i put charged power on it the clear coat wont flake as easily, it will stick like paint?
  • 1 0
 What???

Ok, google "powdercoat". It isnt paint. It has nothing to do with paint. Forget about paint lol It is its own process, not a way to make paint stick.

 what kind of paint did you use for the rims?
  • 1 0
 Just primer, metallic silver, and translucent purple. Not hard at all. I would have anodized them, but they have steel eyelets which would have been destroyed in the ano bath.
