Let's see SR/NR... the hubs, seat post, arms and body on the front derailleur (not the black anodized arms, the silver ones), pedal bodies, down tube shift levers all weren't anodized.
Head set, brake calipers, brake levers, rear derailleur, cranks, chainrings all are anodized.
The test: take Semichrome or Mother's aluminum polish and rub the part. If the polish turns black you have unanodized aluminum.
