Actually don't know. In any case I was in Soncino to the Micron where they do this treatment. It's a very advanced factory. I have spoken personally to the boss on wedensday. He's a very easy going and competent person. He told me they could make the treatment directly on the chromatation that is nowaday forbidden due to the use of exhavalent chrome toxicity. This is their site.

take also a look to the incredible video of Endine's lake 5 kilometers far from my house. Icing during the winter and very hot water during the summer you can skate and swim in a wonderful place.

Magtek front 17x3,50 and rear 17x4,50. The rear one has a very bad chain machining on the edge as shown in the first, but it's fully tested and is fine, no major or micro cracks at all. As mentioned above both have been PEO treated (plasma electro oxidation) to close the surface, and dust sprayed. So the best choice for safe.

The frame has received all weldings and mods, and has gone today now to the dust spraying.

The RC30 is still one of the best looking bikes ever made.

You're right. I think that only Tamburini's bikes as the Ducati 916, the MV Agusta F4 and the Benelli TNT can compete with.

I'm with you on the 916 and MV but not so sure about the Benelli, their bikes never quite do it for me. I'd be hard pressed to choose between the other 3. I usually think of the 916 as being the most beautiful bike ever built and then I see a picture (like yours) of the RC30 and I'm not so sure. Both are a work of art, I would happily have either mounted on the wall.
