cheers. the chrome was very good when i got it.  thats one of the reasons for getting it when i did. its not perfect but certainly fantastic for its age. i was assured its not been rechromed and looking at the bottom where the bb sits it still has original knurled like finish which indicates original chrome.

mark 2:
There's no way you'd get a decent re-chrome job on that frame. It's too complicated to perform the polishing of those tubes in it's welded (or brazed rather) state.  Or it'd take a daft amount of time, dremmel sized mops and money to do. Costs £30p/h for just polishing who I use.
