Armourtex in Hackney are excellent. They had so many hipsters getting their bikes powder coated (so they'd fit with their overpriced apartments' aesthetics when parked in the hall) that they opened a specific cycle shop, which they now seem to have moved to Hackney Road as it outgrew the tiny place in Rowe Lane. They coated my 80's 5-speed Brompton, which are nororiously finicky, serviced and rebuilt it better than new.

Thank you, will give them a bell. At my age I would be best described as an artificial hipster.

I had my Condor powdered coated by Steve at Aurum with great results (1 colour+ lacqurer + VAT= just over £100). Steve used to be the head guy at Armourtex before they changed hands. They're in Dartford but you can drop the frame off at Stayer Cycles in Leytonstone:

if you want a respray Vaz Cycles in Hither Green look to do some nice work and aren't much more expensive than the powdercoat:
