Interesting. There was a member at our bike coop who stripped the paint off of a full chromed Schwinn Voyager (may have been another similar imported Schwinn model) that looked great. All the chrome was polished and shiny. Did it up with a white seat, wrap and cable housing. Really nice looking bike.
