the stanchions are the sliding surfaces. i woldnt do it. unless the manufacturer approved of it. If you referring to the lowers, then by all means.

well the fork stanchions have already been anodized. in silver

which fork u referring to? either way,if the manufacturer ok's it, i'm game. I guess they wouldnt so if the anodizer can match the spec of the current job on the stanchions, then i guess i would do it as well.

damn thats fricken overboard is int it easyer just to say sorry im only selling the whole bike

 

I'll be honest (not justifying the rudeness)' date=' but some hubbers are pretty strange.

 

You post a frame for sale, with pics and all the details. Then someone e-mails you and asks if you have "XXX" wheel set? [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley5.gif[/img]

 

One thing that I have noticed, is that hubbers shop for bargains... not for quality, not for what they need.... but purely for bargains. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm generalising. But that is the feeling that I get.
