Nope, just the garage floor. I keep looking for a used Kendon lift that I can buy without having to ship though.
So you can change out frt and back wheels, change out the front forks all with just maybe one of those cheap Sears lifts for like $90 or so?

Good job!!

You got an excellent deal on the cost of powder coating. I honestly don't know how they did it that cheap. Too bad about the cloudy black part though. You say you expected that... why?

cwilks - your avatar puts me in a trans everytime I look at it. I try not to look, but... well, it's like a moth and a flame.

No threat of the bike falling over?

I have a knock off of the Sears jack. It works fine for everything I've done to my bike including changing wheels, fork tins, rear shocks, etc. The Sears version has tie-down loops on it, so if you're worried about it you can tie it down. They are helpful lifts.

Looking good Zach! Do you think the anodizeing will hold up better than PC on the Vertabrae? I was just wondering because the anodizeing we use at the shop can be scratched pretty easy or are you doing the hard coat? Man those red rims really make your bike POP!!!
