Thought I would share a few photos. Ex Factory Racing Team bike bought from Trek UK. I have raced it for two years heavily so was showing lots of signs of scratches, scraps and scuffs. Decided to get it repainted and painted it in this years colours. Lucky I did as when it was taken back to the raw carbon one of the rear seat stays had a a crack around the tube, 3/4 of the way round so I was ready for a big crash. They also invisabily repaired this. Fantastic finish, the replicated all the decals and then lacquered, photos don't do it justice.

Even painted the top cap on the iCD Fox forks as well. :thumbup:

Not got a weight but its pretty light but uber reliable. Will see if i can get some scales and get some info.

Target Composite's in the UK carried out the work. Highly recommended.
