I HAVE HEARD THE ORIGINAL FENDERS AND RIMS WERE 'FLASH CHROME'!
THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY WHY THEIR CHROME CLOUDED UP OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
THE OTHER PARTS?
Does anyone do "flash chrome" now - whatever that is? - ha - as if they do, that might make the bike more original. Seriously, my goal is simply to have a functional bike that looks as close to what it did when it was first purchased. It doesn't bother me at all to replace as many internal parts - bearings, races, chain, screws, nuts, etc. as I can find - I'd just like to keep the major outward appearing parts as they once looked.
