Right. Too bad Mark Hickey doesn't post here anymore. From his site:
http://www.habcycles.com/techstuf.html

"Brushed. This is the finish used on all Habanero frames. Once you
own a brushed frame, you'll never want anything else. The brushed
finish produces a soft, smooth silver finish (which I find much
more attractive than bead blasted or polished, but chalk that up as
personal opinion). It's very scratch-resistant, and minor abrasions
are virtually invisible on the surface. If you do manage to scratch
or otherwise mar the surface, a few passes with a ScotchBrite pad or
400 grit sandpaper restores the finish perfectly. This means that
you should be able to keep your frame looking brand new literally
forever!"

Thanks Greg. But I would still start with 600 since the finishes on these bikes varies enough to be recognizable.
