The bike is now Ibis white with sateen black pegs, controls, fuel cap, and frame sliders. We shipped it out to him and he flipped. He was happier than a coondog on a bare leg.
Or, happier than a fat cat in a small box. Git it Twinkie!
The bike was really nice. But after the powder coating, it looks much better. I bet your brother must have loved his newly-coated bike. He must have been so happy and surprise to see that it wasn’t black anymore. You did a great job!
