I'm assuming the chrome was done at the time of the refurb? Raleigh would never have chrome plated 753 except maybe just the dropouts because the polishing required for a good finish thins it out too much and makes it very brittle. Peugeot plated the rear stays on their 753s and thats why many of them snap where they join at the drop outs.
