only thing about hard ano is that colors are limited, and arent usually as vivid as a standard ano.

As for paint/surface finishes, yeah, those 3 plus hard anodizing. Hard ano is probably the most durable, powdercoat is fairly tough too. Normal paint is weak. I sandblasted my last frame from dirt that flew off my front tire because of weak paint

MOVING PADS They're practically made for it! Go to anyplace like a U-haul ot other moving truck rental place and buy one for 5$. They work SOOOOO well

MUCH more durable than paint, and the frame weighs something like 3/4 of a pound less since theres no paint.

yeah, thats what sucks about paint, but mines anodized! Thats why it looks so clean! Wash it off, then rag it down with a TINY bit of wd40 and it looks new.

I gets washed every ride, and that means at least 3 times a week It only LOOKS new, last night it was MUUUUUUDDY hahahh
