I like the look of chrome sometimes, but polished stainless steel is even nicer in my eye. Chrome has a tendency to round off the lug edges and I like a nice crisp edge. My real questions is I've heard all kinds of things about the weight added by chrome. I've heard everything from about 4 ozs. to a pound and a half for a frame and fork. Does anyone have any real numbers? I don't like the idea of adding 25% more weight to the frame and fork just so it "looks good?" thanks, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA
