Haro Shows Off New Aluminum Trail & Enduro Bikes
@mior: You rubbing it out in the corner of the garage is a lot different than large scale production. Another challenge that I recall is blemishes- small dings or scratches in a tube can be hidden with a dab of filler and paint to keep the reject rate low but with large scale production, the reject rate goes through the roof. If you polish a tube to hide blemishes, you are effectively reducing wall thickness and sacrificing durability

Haro Shows Off New Aluminum Trail & Enduro Bikes
@mior: Sadly its nearly impossible to get a truly polished alloy for production these days due to safety and environmental challenges. Brushed finish seems to be as close as anyone can get... is anyone offering a truly polished raw alloy frame?
GT used to "ball burnish" their frames to achieve the "polished" look

Danny Hart Officially Joins the Continental GT Racing Team
This Avalanche of good news was picked up by a sensor, it scored a Richter 8.0 of Force. As long as he can make the Grade and avoid the Slammer and be a real Performer, he will go Mach One. His riding style is like a Psyclone or a Tempest with a speed series of wins and no Sanctions. Hopefully his speech therapist is working on his LaBomba Ruckus accent
