In the spotted thread we see the Pinarello with worn red paint and exposed chrome. I also know of a lot of Japanese/NJS bikes that have chrome underneath the paint.
I just think it looks incredible when the paint wears down naturally and you see the bright chrome under. Plus chrome itself is quite durable.
I was going to spend a bit more on my next track bike and plan on keeping it for a very long time...so if I can find a bike that has a chrome base layer, it's an added bonus.
Any major Italian or Japanese brands that consistently do this? Or do most companies offer this at the customer's request?
Just love this look after they've been worn in/loved....
