Have the lugs chromed!?
Chroming means three different platings (after some other nasty shit), chroming being the last, first two are nickel then copper I think. How are you going to get that stuff off the other bits of tube that will get dipped in order to chrome the lugs? Seems like a massive expense in order to make a 'scruffy' bike. Apart from anything else, chroming is really bad for the environment.
Just powdercoat it, or let it rust all over.
