I built this bike back in 1985. Found the frame at the LBS in the original champagne color but the paint was trashed and I couldn't afford a paint job. So I knew a guy who worked at a chroming factory and he did it for a fraction of the cost of paint. It's held up pretty well, and still looks good! I started riding it again a couple years ago. It feels so different from my contemporary bike, but brings back so many memories, I love it! Finally got a set of chrome forks to replace the aluminum ones I had on there after I cracked the originals around twenty years ago. Pretty much as it was 25+ years ago.
