After dropping off my Fuchs to be restored it got me thinking about the Mahles sitting here in my study.

Anyone ever get a set anodized? polished lips with black centers maybe?
It would be cool i'm thinking, like the Factory fuchs finish.

I was thinking the same thing. The porosity that comes with forged aluminum is probably not very condusive to anodization.

the Fuchs are forged and yes, they are anodized from the factory (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Well color me surprised. I always thought they were just painted black. What do I know right? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
