Nice, Jim! The difference between chrome and stainless? You polish chrome until it rusts. Then you replace it. Stainless, you just polish. "The Basketcase" will have as much stainless (Allen heads. Fewer/smaller tools to carry) as I can put on it.
I get as much of my stainless as I can from Bolt Depot. Good quality, fast shipping... and very good prices."The Basketcase" will have as much stainless (Allen heads. Fewer/smaller tools to carry) as I can put on it.

You're saying we can FOOL the handling into not noticing the unsprung mass? Kind of like physics op art?Without wishing to touch off another diatribe on unsprung mass (and yes, I can do the math) it seems to me that silver, gold, or even white or some other “light” colour would make the front end of the bike appear less massive (i.e. lighter).
If the disk hubs were painted black, the whole thing would look “heavier” IMO.
Not tool steel... just a general purpose stainless. Also known as 18/8 or 304 stainless.Anticipation!
Hey, question here. That package of Stainless Steel bolts has “(A-2)” on the label ? Strange A-2 is a tool steel ?
Are they magnetic ?
