I have to agree, I had a 1973 LeJeune restored by CyclArt a few years ago. New paint, decals, pinstriping, rechroming. Everything was very well done. It was not cheap, almost $1,000, but that was in large part due to the high cost of chroming today. If you want cheap, go elsewhere, but CyclArt does deliver a quality job if you are willing to pay for it.
