Who wants to spearhead this enquiry? I would dearly love to get a load of stuff done so count me in!

I think anodising depends on the quality and also type of aluminium.

yes - it can be done. My dad purple anodised my whole XT groupset back in the early 90's! The quality of the alloy is fine - just need to make sure it is very clean.

As for L/H Cooks. Who has one for me to strip?

I had some stuff for my Wicked gold anodized here in the states.

I hate to play devils advocate, but how do I deliberately remove anodising??

I have some purple handlebars that I would like to be silver
