You must be joking, we love chrome bikes, they are the bomb.
Schwinn made plenty of chrome Paramounts, I have a frame, Cinelli sold chrome SC's back in the day.
Several BF member have stunning examples of Raleigh Pro's, Rene Herse's and there are many others.
The only real drawback is the weight it adds and many bikes were chromed then painted so they weigh even more.
Chrome is oldschool, that makes it Classic and Vintage all day long.
