I thought the same thing when that bike came on. Retyred, you might try submerging the chrome in vinegar for a day, then giving the chrome bits a vigorous wipe with a coarse rag and/or fine steel wool. In my experience vinegar has no effect on paint. You might be pleasantly surprised by what it does to rust, though.
