“Very cool!” // That’s how Casey, General Manager of Venture North, describes the new stock of powder coated bicycle frames.  In powder coating, a dry colored pigment is applied to the bike frame, which is then baked at nearly 400 degrees.  The pigment becomes a uniform coating that is both beautiful and highly durable. Stop on by Venture North Monday through Friday until 7 p.m. and Saturday until 5 p.m.; there’s a powder-coated frame waiting just for you!
