Very nice, it looks like they matched the frame perfectly.

Looks great. I was really happy after I got all my powdercoated parts put on. It really changed the bike for the better IMO. Looking forward to getting stuff coated on my other bike now, one of these days.

Very nice! I'd like to know more about "powder-coating"... I painted mine 2 seasons ago with just Rustoleum--it lasted a one and a half seasons (needs a touch-up). But I couldn't agree more; on a black frame black-on-black is badass!!!

Very clean looking, those bits should have come like that from the factory! I am definitely getting mine powder coated

Thanks guys, im really happy with the result. The parts look brand new and for a total cost of about 100$

I just delivered the parts in as they were (i think the foot rest brackets are painted from stock) and they used some kind of chemical cleaning on them and just powder coated them afterwards. It only takes about 4 hours so i turned them in in the morning before work and picked them up after work.

Last night i put on some rim stripes and took a few more shots.
