Finally riding a big boys bike
Hey all, I recently "reburbished" a 1952 Hawthorne Bicycle and was somewhat pleased with the result; but after 7 months of weather, bike-locks, and wear, it is looking a little hagard. My thought is to tear the bike apart again this summer and re-chrome all the bright-work, and powder-coat the frame/fenders. My question is this: Is there any problem with powder coating bicycles? I assume the frame will be fine, but what about the fenders? Can I even powdercoat those? I'll be moving to Texas this summer and I also wonder what damage the UV rays will do to a powder-coated bike? It'll be parked outside most days and will be ridden in pretty much all types of weather.
Please shoot me some ideas/suggestions. I'd greatly appreciate it.
