So this little black cap with the gold circle… never on the derailleur. Pop off pretty easy. But are correct and should be there. The problem: these Huret Allvit derailleurs were used by Schwinn. So anything Schwinn is going to be ridiculous. How much do you think I paid for that cap? $1? No. $5? No… that $5 would be expensive. How about…
$20
I felt violated.
Absolutely beautiful! You nailed it!

Very impressive, as usual! 
My next project is murry. I’m not sure of the color or the style. It’s a basket case, I’m assuming single speed. My question is about the shifter you had re chromed. Was it re chromed or chome painted?? I have that shifter in a murry formost and that the only unsave able part.
gorgeous.
It was re-chromed. But the business that did it went out of business, and I don't have a new source.
Ok thanks. I’ve seen some plastic parts that were sprayed chrome. Not like spray can chrome. It looks like real chrome. There is a place in Ohio that does it. The bike came out great.
