My TA stripped down (original chrome) - what do you think?

(1/6) > >>

So, its stripped down to bare frame and forks and headset (nice Tange 320 and lock nut), and think it looks pretty good considering, much nicer than the picture I had in my head. 

If this was yours would you be happy to build it, or would you consider a rechrome or powder?  I do prefer white ones, but original chrome is always a winner...  Inside the forks are the worst area.

Its an early curved bridge Jap made model.  Serial is K 01344.











Ive polished and polished the BB but this the best I can get it.



This is the worse bit...

dont look to bad, but i know what you mean, there is a place in chesham who will strip it, they have just done a ta xl for me and SBD has painted it, picked it up this morning

sweetbeats:
What was the question again :)

Keep the original chrome as it still pretty good and i love survivor bikes, build it up and ride it! thats what these bikes were intended on doing, not being restored then just bought to look at.  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

WHS^^^

I'd leave it as it is, the worst area inside the forks would be hidden by brake and wheel... build it... ride it...  :daumenhoch:

If it were re-chromed it would be to minty to ride

Survivor bikes rock...  :)
