Hi

Has anyone had any bike components anodised, i'm looking to strip my bike down to get it powder coated and may look to change the colour of the suspension linkages.

If so, where did you get it done, what price did you pay, how long was the process etc?

Cheers

Nick

Did this a few years ago...

Was a dull dark blue with black rockers. Limited choice of colour led me to the silver. Stripped the frame myself, with a view to polishing it. Shotblasted finish under the powder meant was too difficult though.
Anodising was done by anodisersteve off here. Took about a week.
