    my 'fixie' is white, and cheesy/fassionable as it sounded while I was thinking about it, it now looks great,

    white frame,
    raw aluminium components,
    white stem and saddle,
    snow camo bar tape (might swap for the white off the proper roadie)
    baby blue brake outer

    looks very lightweight an minimalist (which it is!)

    What is the frame?
    The thing about powder coating is that it is cured at approx 160 – 200 degrees celcius. That is, coincidentally, the temperature for aging 6000 series alloys, therefore it will cause over aging of the metal.
    The over-aging will possibly / probably lead to reduced fracture toughness. High strength aluminium alloys fail due to lack of fracture toughness.
    Most 6000 series alloy frames are in the T6 condition.
