Why are road bike frames never anodised, alloy ones that is? Would save weight too on pant!Even before carbon got mainstreem, never did see an anodised road bike...

Probably because most anodising wears off too quickly (certainly on all the bikes I've got which are anodised).

top end stuff is under the UCI weight limit anyway, so not really an advantage
