• Aren't there some people who believe old chrome frames may be a bit brittle anyways? I remember seeing a snapped chrome frame on on Andy White's site and the frame was clean but nasty on the inside. I couldn't imagine a thin-wall tubed frame could stand up to the chemical process of old-school chroming (much harsher than newer methods both on frame and environment) and being shot blasted.

    Do some research and maybe you can convince that woman of yours to keep it chrome. Just strip off the white paint, add Merckx decals and presto! Instant puppy savior!
