I'm blessed to live in Portland Or where we have 3 or more anodizers within 20 minutes of my house.

I've heard some of y'all using easy off to remove anodizing.

Hard pass. Stuff stinks. I already got in trouble recently for cleaning the inside of my 1962 Vespa GS gas tank the old fashioned way. Putting a cup of nuts, bolts, screws and wrapping it up in an old blanket. Gaffer tape the bejesus out of it and toss it in the dryer (no heat).

Sweetie swears she can smell gas in the clothes now. She is wrong. (I have a highly trained beak)

Doesn't matter. Keep em happy!!

I have always handed some bits to the anodizers and waited no more than 5 min while they dip the bits and bring them out raw aluminum.

Take this Cinelli stem with Davidson panto'd on each side.

UGLY!!
