New, better pics added. The fork chrome is in such good shape. I checked inside the headtube and this is the original color. The paint is however a bit chippy, but it doesn't bother me much. The rear end might get stripped to full chrome if it gets any worse. I'd like even some confirmation that is a higher end frame (it sure has all the right details, in my mind).
Any more bright ideas? I'm starting to think about building it up. What colors and component types (alloy vs black or carbon) would look good? Need to get that BB out of there. Don't have the right tool.
