Can you have too much chrome on a build?

I think all chrome is ok.

I would try and keep the seat / grips / tyres the same colour as the colour on decals. I think that would look good that way  :daumenhoch:

Chrome rules  :daumenhoch:

...but I personally wouldn't polish the Redline Chainring... they only ever came in a brushed finish  ;)

I know what you mean about the chainring....unfortunately it was looking very tired and was in need of some TLC...I'm  hoping it'll look sweet on its return :daumenhoch:

A decent polishing/chromers outfit should be able to give ya a brushed finish mate... I had one done a few years back and it turned out perfect  :daumenhoch:

Cheers bud but I think it's too late and it's already been done....not to worry I've seen some builds with polished chainrings and although not era correct I do think they look good :daumenhoch:
