This is the bike I've owned the longest. Was repainted back in 2011, and at the time I knew the chrome was not in the best condition. Over the years, despite careful waxing and cleaning, the chrome got worse and worse. Even though the paint was in great shape, made the decision to go through a total paint & chrome restoration by Jack Trumbull at Franklin Frames. He had done my Davidson, so I knew what to expect in terms of quality.

While we were at it, decided to do a total makeover. The only parts remaining from the prior build are the saddle and frame, everything else is new. Big fan of Dura Ace 740X series, so this mid '84 Pro SLX (thanks for the dating, [MENTION=448872]CyclesMakaron[/MENTION]!) got the full treatment: 7410 crankset with 53/39 rings, correct DA 7410 BB, 7403 brake calipers, 7402 downtube shifters (stripped and polished) and 7402 brake levers. Wheelset is 7700 hubs laced to polished H Plus Son RB-14 rims, with Vittoria Graphene 2.0 skinwalls in size 25. Shimano aero seatpost, Nitto stem, Nitto Noodle bars.

Very happy with the way it turned out, still rides like a dream and the 8 speed DA shifts like buttah. The paint and chrome work...perfect. I may fiddle with the wheels in the future.

Anyway, enough of the description. Here are some pics:
