I found a dork disc
A shiny little dork disc.
I took it down
To the market square.
Does anybody have a couple of spare blade spokes
230 mm?
But they hadn't got blade spokes
Not anywhere there.

Here is the latest version of this bike.
I ordered some stripe decals from Velocals. The lettering style does not seem to be available, and I'd probably leave those alone anyway. After the decals come in I'll do a final round of touch up on the main tubes and then I think this one will be done for now.

Chrome is shiny, the problem IA not polished chrome but the surface it is applied to. Shiny polished surfaces makes for smooth shiny chrome. Unpolished surfaces leaves a "rough" shiny chrome. Polishing chrome is just restoring the luster unless you polished thru the chrome then it is in pretty nickle.
