Title: Any Reason why i cant.....
Post by: Jamroll on October 19, 2009, 12:47 PM

Radsters,
Have a CW Boulevard...not sure what the frame is made of  (dont think it 4130 tubing  :-\)
Could someone shed some light as i want to get the frame, Bars & Forks Anodised and i dont know if  can be done on this tubing....
Any help would be really appreciated  :daumenhoch:

Thanks

You can only anodise Alluminium. It should be easy to tell if the frame is alluminium from the large welds and usually over sized tubes. Im not sure if CW did one tho. There werent many alluminuim bars, and almost no aluminuim forks.

Candy paint/powder would produce a similar result :daumenhoch:  Bit like DX pedals and a lot of SR stuff - most people assume it's anno but it's paint...

Yeah,
I've been on Roseys Powder Coat Site and they have some sweet candy colours.....
I've gone for a lush Wine Red Candy.....should look tops with a bit of white and lots of polished bits  :coolsmiley:
