Was: Red Heat, Now: Blue Heat

Earlier this year, I bought a new frame in anticipation of the Hammerschmidt release. I got it in red because most of my bikes have been red. On the Turner website, it looked like a candy apple red, but it was really a flat, boring red with a semi-polished rear triangle and a black rocker link...see below.



It wasn't a bad looking bike but it certainly wasn't handsome, either. Also, I didn't have downtube cable routing, so I was left with zipties holding it in place and scuffing the paint. So, I took it to Spectrum Powder Works here in the Springs and had it painted. It looks great. Now I just have to reassemble the bike. Check it out.


Complete frame...the upper rocker link will be black to echo the Turner type. The Turner logotype is painted on...no more scratched decals.


Detail of the cable stop near the head tube. Yes, it's held on by JB Weld.


ISCG Tabs. I'll have to face the frame again to get all the powder off, but no biggie.


A nice view of the non-drive side dropout.
