Chrome Dilemma - inspiration needed

[David B]

Chrome stays etc. resist knocks and chain scratches. I'm having a frame refurbed by Chris Marshall at the present and will be keeping half chrome forks and rears. I think it looks smart.

Chrome stays are indeed great for reducing damage due to the chain bashing the frame. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with chromed dropouts though, as sometimes they mean that the QR skewer doesn't always "bite" properly causing the rear wheel to slip in the frame under huge efforts

Chrome is beautiful!

I can't see myself making many - if any - 'huge efforts'

Not these days anyway.

LOL at Old Ned

I once twisted the swing arm on a Santa Cruz Superlight by making a huge effort (combined with being a bit of fat bast) but don't think I could do it now without the aid of a club hammer

My old Hirame 022 frame should give you an idea comining up for post accident restro.

Nb 25 year old chrome
