Blue Anodized Bars And Stem..

nope.

Don't know about bars, but Hope had some blue stems.

alittle blue goes along way dude. just keep it limited to blue hubs, headset and seatcollar. any more than that is freekshow-no-self-control.

unless he's trying to offset some other colors

Renthal bars come in anodized blue (and other colors too) and in a variety of bends. They'll make you stylishly moto too. Trouble is both the standard (7/8") and Fatbars (1 1/8") are moto sizes, so you'll need shims. Problem Solvers and others make 'em.

send your stuff to bullcrew and have it custom done..

I thought that too, but I am leary of doing a new ano finish on something that has been done once. I would like to hear BC's take on that as far as strength retention goes. Does he post here?

no. those are the dumb colored bits that make an otherwise clean bike look stupid. IMHO.

yup,, stripping and re-ano'ing will not cause anything to fail..

Stripping and re-anodizing will not weaken, but will remove some surface which might not clamp the bars as well. I dealt with the same issue today at work. An anodized part had the bushing pressed out, stripped, then reanodized. Now the bushing has to be green loc-tited in place or it'll fall out.

Hard anodizing builds up the surface. I don't know if it comes in colors though.

You could strip and re-anodize everything except for where it clamps to. I'd stay away from colored bars though, it can look tacky.

Titec...

Check with Titec man...they used to make blue anodized bars and stems. I had both on an old Giant Warp I used to have. Maybe they have some leftover stock or something. :thumbsup:
