. Very satisfying after how it looked when I got it.
WOW! Very nice!
IMO, polished tubes and painted lugs, maybe with a contrasting color on the rivet heads, would look really interesting--- but not very original. Considering the rarity of a HiE Cosmopolitan, restoring to original seems to be the most sensible thing to do. However, as presented above, I find the frame very appealing.
