Ciocc

[pakicyclist]

Hey guys,

I was recently cycling when I hit a nice big New Jersey pothole...and ended up on the ground. I got a couple scrapes and bruises, but that doesn't matter because in the entire mess, I ended up scraping my Ciocc frame. Now, I need to get it repainted, so it doesn't look as bad... Any suggestion... It would be wonderful....


Thanks...

Are you asking for a recommendation for a frame painter?

I've seen several restored bikes done by these guys.

Very good work, but it's not cheap and they are located in San Diego, so you'd have to ship it to them. But they can pretty much match any paint and recreate or find original decals that might be scratched or missing.

I know you probably would rather go with someone local, but they're the only bicycle restoration company that I've personally seen the the results from.

The Ciocc is definitely worth restoring to perfect condition. Good luck.

Check out the links listed on this page under "Painting/Restoration" : http://www.bikeschool.com/links/links.cgi . Spectrum Powder Coating does nice work, but they are in CO; you should be able to find someone closer...
