Hardly the perils of chroming more like "steer clear of cowboys"  :LolLolLolLol:.  An easily avoidable incident to my mind, if the chromer was any good it would never have happened.  That said, good resto  :daumenhoch:

Now this is the part of restoring I can't get into. Yes, It's an awesome job, but it's not really a resto is it...

Remember Trigger and his broom...

It's not the same broom and it not an original frame...

 ;)

Having looked at the thread on VBMX it looks like he`s only renewed the 2 main tubes and repaired the rest, so I`d say great restoration not new bike  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
