bike thread on IIS?

[traveller]

Hi all, one of my other hobbies is bike restoration. I have done a restoration job on a Northern Star bike for my wife (hunting down old parts on ebay etc). As of today, I became a proud owner of a Roadstar Dragster. I always had a thing for these bikes, so I want to do a proper job on this one (read spend more $$$).
Now, on the off chance, does anyone know of any places in Melbourne that can do good sand blasting, re-power coating and re-chroming?
I posted a similar thread on a bike forum, but thought I try my luck here also (and this forum is MUCH more user friendly, thanks Mike).
Any help will be appreciated.:thanx:
Oh, some eye candy for those who want to check out my new baby.
Cheers,
Bo

im not a fan of powdercoat, it works but it depends on what you want from it, restoring to new or rebilding to use..

Thanks all. Guess there are a few closet bike fanciers out there :lol:
I was told that there is a place called a class powder coating in Melbourne that does good jobs. Now I just need a free weekend to strip down the bike.
