Yeah that's what I thought and hoped. There's a big peel on the other side where the down tube meets the headtube. No nickel left on the inside of the rear dropouts or the matchbox, some missing off the bb and also the brake bridge and dotted about peeling in other spots. If it had been as good as it looks in that pic I?d have been well chuffed. Sadly not on closer inspection. I was hoping to just change a few parts over , clean it up and off we go, if it had been leftover finish and not peel I?d have done that. It deserves protection imo when the nickel has peeled its crossed the line for me . I?d have rather not pumped any mor money into it to be honest but I know I'll be glad when it's finished.

Close to my dream 80s bike (the loop Supergoose that looked pretty much identical).

Looking forward to seeing this get done !

My absolute dream bike BITD and I did a few when I was collecting o/s a while back. The problem with the smoked chrome finish was it was just too delicate, so a decent chrome one sounds the right way to go  :coolsmiley:

Will be keeping an eye on this mate, I do enjoy your builds  :smitten:

I love a pro class and I like the builds you do so this will be a winner explosion
