I have been a member of this forum for a little while now and mostly just read threads. I thought it was time to post something, I don't know enough about oil yet so I thought I would post about something I know more about: bikes.
I have a 2008 Giant Trance X2 and I have been slowly upgrading it piece by piece. My latest customization was powdercoating the suspension linkages. The bike was all black when I bought it and I have been trying to add some color and style to it and I now have a a black and white theme.
Here are some before and after pictures.
Completely stock just after I got it:

The linkages before, during and after:

And finally, back on the bike:
_MG_3915
_MG_3904
We powdercoated the parts ourselves using an inexpensive setup including a second hand electric oven in the basement but I think it came out really nice and I am really happy with how my bike is looking these days.
