I agree with Mike, extremely durable. The only problem I head about using "powdercoating" was that it seals the frame so well that the frame can rust out from under the coating and you never notice. I saw a bike that had done just that. The tubing was rust all the way to the underside of the coating. However, i had my rain bike coated several yaers ago and I haven't seen any problems...

There is a new powder-coating company that opened recently on 37th and SE
Powell Blvd. The name on the banner is "Brookes." What caught my eye was a
two-tone bike frame in their window. I didn't stop in to check out their
work close up.
