Out of interest, how did you pick it for powdercoating? As usual the photographs flatter the paintwork but to me it it could be two-pack or enamel. Admittedly the faults that are mentioned in the description do sound like what you get with poor powdercoating.feelthewheel wrote:Everything I hate about powdercoat. So much hate.

If it is powdercoated they have got buckleys of getting what he's asking. Lucky to get half that.

Not to mention a Paconi track frame, which is not just straight, but "very straight".

The giveaway is the photo of the rear dropouts, dripping/streaking from stays, applied way too thick and with that ultra-high gloss that powdercoating has.WyvernRH wrote:Out of interest, how did you pick it for powdercoating?

I didn't think it was too bad - all braze-ons are still there and the parts look to be of reasonable quality, albeit not period correct.10speedsemiracer wrote:probably a bit ambitious $-wise for a fixie-converted tourer....
The only thing letting it down for me was the fork doesn't look original...and it's not my size.

Fork definitely not original, and I think may be one of those 'photograph better than it really is' scenarios.P!N20 wrote:I didn't think it was too bad - all braze-ons are still there and the parts look to be of reasonable quality, albeit not period correct.10speedsemiracer wrote:probably a bit ambitious $-wise for a fixie-converted tourer....

But it now has 1 bid at $1,000. Call me skeptical but I am doubtful as to the legitimacy of that bidWyvernRH wrote:Phew! For a minute I thought you meant some sad person had paid$1500 for the Hetchins!MichaelB wrote:Sold for $1,525 in the end.MichaelB wrote:
