Fortunately, I have at least one donor hub for parts.
Harvey is the man! That's worth it just for the camaraderie.
I'd also think about upkeep. For the Norman, maybe it's worth it to have a showy set. That is such a lovely bike to stare at. But in general, I also think that polishing means lots more polishing over time. Do you really have that kind of time? Me thinks not.
I'm for pragmatic solutions, with just enough bling to have fun.
As Harvey would say, YMMV.
