I have always been jealous of people that can stay organized. Give me five minutes and I can make a work bench look like this:

A supertherm trails frame going to Japan, waiting on little things like cable mounts.

And the dropouts (Swopouts) of an All Mtn frame waiting on big things like the down tube (Truetemper's latest shipment of tubing apparently got "lost" in transit...)

21.15 TT 13.75 CS BMX 20 (bronze)
22.5 TT 14.7CS MTBMX 24 (Silver)

Theres that bronze effect I was talking about... I think it will be much more apparent on some bare supertherm main tubes

Im going to try to have these DMR Swopout compatible dropouts laser cut or abrasive water jet cut. They allow you to bolt on the DMR vertical, horizontal or through axle aluminum dropouts.

Powdercoat job # two is a complete and utter success! And on a side note, the pre-baking process one uses to remove oil also leaves the raw frame an awesome bronze-gold color... Can't wait to put some clear over a raw frame.

Aside from a little bit of electrocution, the first powdercoating job went pretty smoothly. I had a little bit of transparency in some sharp corners on the stays but managed to get total coverage with the "Cadillac" blue. I know how to avoid this thinning next time (flashlight)
