Any local racing organizations/websites? I happen to have a place called Cycleworks here in Colorado http://www.cycleworksusa.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which came highly recommended.
I found out my frame was very slightly bent when I installed the wheels(no tires). On a level surface with the forks perfectly straight, all four points of the wheel(rim) should touch. Just make sure the front and rear wheels are square to the frame and aligned to each other.

I think it was said above, but sandblasting, cleaning, other prep on the frame should be SOP for your powder coater. You should probably do a rough degreasing. Ask if they have done motorcycle frames before. Also they should be well versed in not coating where they shouldn't and plugging all the tapped holes. You really need to ask them lots of questions. If they don't do it properly you are in for lots of extra work cleaning up their screw ups.

If you look at the bid history on the listing, it's the same guy doing all the bidding, (I suspect that it's the seller)
He bid $30. Then an hour later he bid $60. 8 minutes after that he bid $100. And 11 seconds later he bid $125.
While you have to know what you're doing when using Ebay, this bidding is on the up and up I'd say. The multiple bids are just one guy trying to beat another, happens all the time. I've put 5-6 bids in in 5 minutes just to see where something is sitting rather than putting in a large bid and possibly pushing the price way up.
