Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That's odd that "schwinn" would fully chrome a frame and then paint it - the the second link seems to say that. Aside from the cost, it adds a lot of weight.

Not really odd, thats the way most bike companies did it "back in the day" when they did the chrome seat stays and fork
