The green spray paint "protected" the rear chrome stays, I just polished it after paint strip. Not perfect, but close enough. The front fork besides being incorrect, was powdercoated black, so I found a NOS chrome Rampar Tange fork on Ebay and had the top painted. It has the incorrect crown, but the bike is a rider, not a museum piece. I pieced together the headset from different Raleigh parts, and an old Bianchi bottom bearing cup with better chrome. It's done 1200 miles since rebuild.
