I am sure that this subject has come up but probably in relation to an existing painted frame.
So, given a new, unpainted, aluminium frame would it be possible to get it anodised rather than painted? What would be the drawbacks? Would it be less hassle than trying to get the right etching uncercoat to paint a frame?
Also is it practical to powdercoat aluminium?
I am going to put in an order for an unpainted frame and am looking at the options. My Vitus 992 is anodised as far as I can see and I like that finish.
