Guys,

After some advise on the SC Powder coating quality and longevity.

I'm about to swap my 2006 Ano Nomad for a BlurLT, but was after something other than black. I had a Powder coated Heckler before the Nomad and that look like sh1te ofter 12months.

Has the quality got any better with the powder coating or should i just order myself another black ano.

Mike

my powder coated 06 bullit still looks great after 3x morzine and some rotten winters.

Having had both, i'd take anodized given the choice again.

Ano is lighter and if you get black you can hide wee scratches with a marker pen. The painted finish is tough but soon goes dull.

Ive got an 09 heckler, and to be fair, the powdercoat, although its rubbed off due to heel scrapes, and cable rub, seems to be holding up ok..

Ano definitely worth the extra (if you plan on keeping your bike for several years)

I had an Ano 05 Blur, and it was shit. It fell off if you looked at it funny.
