LOL at sandpaper.

It was owned by a messenger in SF. The previous owner was one of the MASH guys.
He hand painted over all of the exposed chrome using some silly primer gray color...it looked really bad since it was a flat color and didn't match the original paint.. All it took was a scrub brush and soap to remove all of the crappy touch-up paint. It's all from real use. You can still see a lot of the crappy gray touch up paint in the pic.

It's only bad in the usual U-Lock spots....head tube area, seat cluster area, and sides of the seat stays from leaning against stuff.
