Thank you for your suggestion on chain-stay guards.
It was suggested that I use chrome paper and a clear guard. I have been debating that as well as leather from Velo-Orange (because I can get it to match the Elk Hide to be stitched onto the h'bars.)
The thing about the leather is (getting dirty) and the thing about the clear chain guard is that they yellow over time. That is why I was looking for the metal one, iffy on the leather option and will use the clear unless someone finds one and so on (sigh).
