If this is the case, the chainwheel etc. would fit in perfectly. Still a beautiful frameset IMO. Crap! Its an all to common fopaux what ever way you look at it!If the frame had been painted black or pink it would be wrong as they never were never produced that way. So why is it Ok to refinish a chainwheel or stem hardwear in a finish that they never had BITD.Thats customizing not restoration or building a replica.
