Hey, I am a friend of Mark and Crystal.....I have been doing powder coating for a little while now. I am recently starting up a small business. Here is my website where you can see a few pics of some stuff Ive done.. www.urbancycleworks.com ... Dont mind the site as It is still way under construction but at least you can get an idea of some of the stuff Ive done thus far. You can get a hold of me on my cell at 856-392-3972 or PM me.....I usually get $350 for a set of wheels. This includes Mounting and balancing tires, removal and resitall of bearings and seals and of course the powder coating. Also very popular now id the levers, rear sets, and passenger pegs. Prices start at $175 for the set...let me know if interested.

Cool I will let you know if and when I decide to go with powder coating...that R1 looks good. If I decide to go with powder coating I will more than likely just get the wheels & levers done. In any event it wont be till after the season is over...thanks for the info though.

That's not my buddy. I've just seen some advertisement for the place, have never used them, and will think twice about using them after what you said.
