This is what this thread is about. No polishing, no swapping out parts, no nada. Leave it AS-IS! Leave it be! Just service the bearings, throw on some tires & roll it!

I have a crusty 58(?) Schwinn and a 49 I am going to paint and maybe get some chrome redone. I like them both.

turns out the DX I thought was 58 was 46 or so, that makes it way more cool. 49 is still a 49

I don't understand this "paint"and "chrome" you speak of...

paint and chrome is like magic. it makes old rusty junk from all over (my chain guard came from Puerto Rico) all the same color and shiny and new again.

You lost me at "shiny and new"...

Painting an old bike and rechroming the parts is something you don't know about yet. ...
