Servicing required?

My bike is a 2005 which I bought in May this year and have now taken the mileage up to 18K.

The question is what servicing would you guy's recommend as i'm unsure of the history and i'm doing a trip round Europe next June..

I know that sounds super organised but wondered if I should do a small service over the winter and a biggy before I go?

Oh and would love to powdercoat my frame black but are we talking major works?
 
Powder coating the frame won;t be expensive but unless you strip the frame out yourself the labour to do it for you will be.

Re the service, it should have had a valave service at 12500. They realrely are out but if they are they often go tight and that can do some damage. If you don't know if it ever had a valve check then i would have it done.

it's the only thing that could get ugly if it's not checked and it's wrong really.
