I have been trying to sell the Gordonson for a few months, all new bits on a 30 year old steel frame, with no joy.

I have been quoted a good price for sand blasting and powder coating, 2 colours no extra $, so which colours?

Eagles or Dockers? :)
Hi George

I would go for the Eagles colours, shouldn't have any problem getting some speed out of it ;)

cheers
