That I did
Im considering stripping my pista as well, although my old bmx tubes wrapped around the whole frame has grown on me.
or......
Ill just take my original idea of stripping the pista then getting a clear candy apple powder coat over the chrome to make it look like anodizing and leave the chainstays chrome. But, then I would be paranoid leaving it locked in nyc so I would then have to revert to the old bmx tubes again. Vicious cycle.
