Bidding on this bike? planning to? the spots you see on the chrome is rust , this bike was stored somewhere that moisture got to it and its rusty on all steel parts. I do not feel very confident in the seller as he doesnt want to give you a straight answer (even with me standing in front of him) I had asked him if he tried to remove the rust with steel wool and he basically said no but it "should clean up", I would look at this as full restoration including chrome and no guarantee the tubes wont be swiss cheese from the inside.
          Again I would not bid on it unless you actually look at the bike unless you want one big surprise when you take it out of the box.
                 Also he is a professional photographer so hes very good at showing little in his photos (Oh, I had my camera set on low resolution)
