Yeah they do look very nice.

I was needing a bike frame powdercoated but I'm guessing it wouldn't fit in the oven, LOL.

I'd love to have my lugs powdercoated red...whatcha think? They are painted but it's a diff color red than I'd really like--I want like popping bright red.

I know you are a researcher Amanda. I have personally researched powder coating lugs. Dont do it. size changes and it will come off regardless. anadiziation is the way to do lugs.

Your bike is too big for the over. however, we can chop it up. just need a good welder. haha i keed i keed

Know any good places for taking photos of cars? I would love to find a good place to shoot photos of my fit. Especially a old warehouse

ok--well damn. I mean the lugs look nice but they are more of a subtle, maroon type red...I wish they were like RED!

Haha on the bike...I want to rebuild this bike so bad. It does have a small crack near the hub--I need to get that fixed first anyways and then find a coater with an oven big enough--there's a local guy but he's spendy.

Yes but before you ask, let me explain. I do not work for the miniciple court. Federal Court.

And not just for 1. I work for the whole eastern district of texas. My office is just located here in tyler. kinda like the headquarters of the eastern part of tx for us.

the people that come into court here are drug trafficers, patten coppiers, murder, blah blah. Big boys. not speeding ticket haha.

PS: I cannot spell and refuse to google such right now lol

Tyler is pretty cool Bubbles, you'll like it.

Our family enjoys going there from time to time--especially if we want to get out but don't feel like Dallas-ing it up.

I am craving Andy's Custard...damn you people.

Right--I thought it was a federal court.

My g/f worked for the court system in Dallas for like 10 years...court clerk and such.

She now does legal secretary work for 2 diff attorneys--one in Athens, one in Dallas.

She LOVED working for the court.

May I ask what you do?

Their Chocolate Shakes are like...ohemgee.

Although--I can walk to the lake, LOL. And there is almost NO traffic here...ever...yay!
