I always find the absence of logic breathtaking whenever someone attempts to disprove a generalization with a single example.
However, I also over-generalized in my post, which was poor form on my part. To be more specific, Italian bikes had relatively poor chrome from sometime just before the bike boom through the mid-1980's. That covers a pretty big chunk of the bicycles discussed here, but by no means all. Earlier (and some later) Italian bikes often have very good chrome.
