okay..this concerns a near vintage..<G> old steel, lugged Specialized Expedition frame I am reworking into a fixed-gear road bike, instead of buying a Gunnar Street Dog... I have been considering powder coating it, because I want a flat black. any downside?? the curing is supposedly done @ 300 - 400F, which shouldn't soften the brazing, as far as I know... any $.02 appreciated... any voices from experience???
tnx..
Evan
