  1. I can’t find a single picture or reference to this being an option for a 03 biposto or any other duc
    Has anyone ever seen this?

    looks like the PO polished the calipers too.

    Btw I picked this up completely disassembled so I’m trying to decide if it’s worth restoring or just getting it on the road for joy rides

  2. I doubt if they chromed the frame ( you can get imbrittlement if you do )
    Far more likely is the frame was bright nickel plated ( like the mx frames and race bikes were in the '60s and 70's by manufacturers like CCM and frame makers like Seeley - it's light and durable and shows cracks clearly which you like to be able to see in a lightweight frame and vibrating British bike )

    It'll be different !
     
  3. The PO deserves a slap in the face.

    With a shovel.

  4. What would you recommend with this? The wheels need to be retreated or colour changed. The body is red btw
