This is the right amount of black:
Although black chainrings would just look wrong here, I could get away with adding black brake levers. The really important part is the chrome top tube cable clips, then the chrome saddle rails/rivets, then the polished stainless steel fenders; in that order.
Because I said so

I say at least try the DA, so you know. Otherwise, you'll always wonder what might have been. 🙂
I suspect it'll kick butt. 😎

that is a holdsworth (planet X retro repro) compact, and I should have bought 5 of them as they were down to like $70 - and now they are gone from the site (they still have the non-drillium non compact version) I hope they make some more.
I mean a retro compact with drillium for $70? what was I thinking? I should have bought 20 of them.

I may just build it up to see what it looks like. First, I have a couple of projects that rolled in.
