actarus:
not exactly a restoration question but I am somewhat concerned about the future of my NOS chrome parts.


can something be done to prevent pitting? or is it inevitable?

maybe oiled up then kept in a closed bag

Where do you keep your builds ? In the house or out in the shed / garage ?
If they are warm and dry in the house I wouldn't have thought you need worry (let's face it - if they are still NOS and mint now after 25 / 30 years in a bike shop or wherever i think they'll be fine for a good few more in the house  ;) )
If the room / building they are kept in is a little damp though you could always get a de-humidifier  :-\

Keep them in a bath of freshly pressed virgin olives.
