Default Scandium frame finish

Just out of curiosity, are these frames anodized? I know that some of the aluminum frames are painted, but I was just wondering about the scandium frames.

Yes they are. The scandium added for strength is a very small amount compared to the aluminum in these frames.

Anodizing is an electro-chemical process, not a paint process.

Yeah, I have my own anodizing line, so I'm familiar with that. Just wanting to confirm!

Thanks.
