I could test for road durability since I'm about to finish stripping an aluminum frame--I could try it under the chainstays and bottom bracket or something. Would it a bad idea to ride around for a week with mostly bare aluminum?
If it seems alright I would definitely want to see what a Smoke frame looks like with my black everything-else.
