Morning All

I'm thinking of having some parts re-anodized as part of a general tarting up of my bike process, in particular the headset and seat post.

I have a Chris King HS and the standard Santa Cruz qr clamp both of which have graphics on them. Now as I understand it these will either be laser etched or printed and the printed will disappear altogether and the etched could remain as a sort of "ghost writing".

It doesnt make any practical difference if the logos disappear with the re-anodizng but after checking both companies sites without joy I was curious if anyone knew?

Cheers All ๐Ÿ™‚

Laser etching seems to appear as "ghost" writing - did when I had Hope Brakes anodised.
