I have a mid 80's Hetchins Novus Ductor. It was the show bike used by U.S. representative of Hetchins at the time. In fact, this particular Novus Ductor was the subject of a review in Bicycling magazine. The bike was owned by the Hetchins shop, and the rep had to get approval from London to sell it to me (around 1987 or so).
The finish is overall very good, and can be touched up. The problem is that the chrome plating on the head lugs has peeled off in places. Naturally, I would rather not refinish the bike to deal with this problem.
Any suggestions? The best I came up with for a cosmetic fix was covering over the peeled areas with a sort of chrome decorative tape. Any other solutions?
Thanks
