Nickel frame?

(1/3) > >>

Woodside:
Why would this have a chrome / nickel frame .....or is it just a good paint job...
Was it just a P/O with access to a chroming tank...
Would look smart on a cafe racer

I like the look of it anyway ....I'd call it the "money pit"

Back in the late 70's it was cheap to have a frame chromed. If you worked at British Rail engineering works you could get it for free. I have a swinging arm from a CB500 chromed that i removed from a bike that i put back to standard. It was cheaper to buy another arm than to have the chrome stripped.

Rickmans had nickle plated frames.

Good man Steve, that is where i have seen one before. Been rattling my brain over that one :)
