I wouldn't strip the anodizing of anything where the finish isn't already damaged, especially if you plan on the bike being a rider and not a fair weather classic show off piece. Bare aluminum corrodes! It is a huge pain to keep getting out the steel wool and polishing etc... remember you pay more for anodized stuff because it is better from a durability standpoint. I am going to do it to a set of old record cranks but they are in terrible shape and they are going on a show bike. Just me 2cents.
