Hey All,

After striping the paint off my frame I discovered chrome on both the ends of the chain and seat stays. It’s pretty dull and would love to restore it. Just ordered a chrome straight blade fork so it would match well. Any help here would be appreciated.

Cheers

I've used Noxon metal polish (at any drugstore) and a copper scrubber to fairly good effect... Just be careful not to use steel wool, as if there's any pitting at all in the chrome, tiny invisible bits of steel wool can get embedded and spread rust...
