1985 Chrome Team Fuji - Bar ends or DT?
As I mentioned earlier, when I started to work on the 1985 Team Fuji, I discovered that the paint was very fragile, but that it was entirely chromed. I have removed all of the old paint and the chrome looks very nice.
Now, the question is downtube shifters or bar ends.
I would appreciate your recommendations and chrome bike pics.
Many Thanks

I do not have any chrome bike pics. I only have one frame I suspect is chrome, anyway.
As far as shifters, I like bar ends, especially indexed. They are very convenient.
However, I don't always like the front of my bike looking like a spider with all the cables.
The classic look of DT's are something I don't mess with on some bikes.
