Trippah Serious Thumper Offline I ride, therefore I am. Posts: 2517 central Mass Gender:	chromey 09/04/07 at 17:28:22 Question..was looking back at some old 60's bikes, which leads to this question..has anyone here ever had their front and/or rear fenders chromed? And nickle plating the frame a la the rickman bros..talk about bling. What a sight on a sunny day. 8)

Yes, but what's that pointy thing between the handlebar risers -- a pedestrian slicer or the battering ram off a Greek trireme?? http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/602073/
