February 11, 201412 yr Anyone had their TR frame powder coated? Will there be an issue with the heating process affecting the bonded parts? Not too keen on the frame colour of my 12 bike and fancy something a bit different. I assume the factory bikes with the white and green frames have been powder coated but just checking that assembly of the actual frame wasn't done afterwards. Any advice?

February 11, 201412 yr We wrapped our Ossa frame with no problems so can be removed and/or changed to different colour with little effort.
February 11, 201412 yr wrapping has been on since feb 13 no damage so far it has frame protectors where the boots rub-easy repair if it split for a few quid
February 11, 201412 yr Author That looks really good ..... I assume it was quite a fiddly process? Hard to see what has been done at the headstock ..... was this a 13 bike and you left it black? Edited February 11, 201412 yr by wayne509
February 11, 201412 yr there is not that much to do only a small frame-just a few hours work no big deal
February 11, 201412 yr That looks really good ..... I assume it was quite a fiddly process? Hard to see what has been done at the headstock ..... was this a 13 bike and you left it black? Yes Feb 13 bike -standard headstock will get to that at some point
February 24, 201412 yr Author Have changed my mind and still want to go with the powdercoat. Still a bit worried though as to whether it's going to fall apart afterwards. I took it into the powder coaters today for a look and he thinks it has maybe been put together after the parts have been powdered. Anyone familiar with the construction process of the Ossa frame. Anyone powder coated theirs?
March 1, 201412 yr Author what about using s3 rim tapes on the frame there as tough as old boots I have it on good authority that all is ok to powder coat so off it goes on Monday for a nice new colour
March 7, 201412 yr Just had a play with a set of front s3 Rim tapes I had left over, get them hot Enough and they will mould to any shape
