I've also recently started erring towards the idea of using a stainless tubeset.
Chrome-plating the rear triangle, forks and lugs would be wildly expensive and the money I'd save by not bothering would more or less pay for the upgrade to stainless.
And let's face it, stainless won't rot and can still be painted snazzy colours or polished.
Having sold my kidneys to pay for The Dream Bike, I feel like I should at least feel happy riding it all year round and not have to get a winter bike as well.
