Sorry about that. I used a place called Precision Powder Coating in the peninsula. I had Tim from Sanner Cycles take it over. I'm not sure if they have a website, now that I've looked again, but you can use this link to a Google listing. If you're in the city, you can try Citizen Chain. I haven't used them, but I've seen that they offer powder coating. I believe The Freewheel also offers powder coating. If you're in the east bay, I've heard good things about MAAS Brothers.

I just picked up the bicycle from powdercoat yesterday. I will do a follow up post once the bike is built up and take some detailed photos soon.

Here’s a teaser: http://yfrog.com/33qsfj

I did a beige color and it came out really nice. The lugs have a lot crisper look than I anticipated.

Tim is a really knowldegeable instructor and I came away with the confidence to have another go on my own. Good luck with your frame building quest!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am interested in this very same class and it’s great to read about your adventure in frame building! Did you finish this frame and eventually build the bike? I would love to see pictures of the finished beast
