I haven't seen a real one in years but didn't some of them have silver painted on the chain guard? I'm thinking they used white for two reasons; the white matches the white stripes on the seat and, by making it a little different from the originals, it makes it harder for some shady people to try to sell it as an original. I've seen people try selling the lemon peeler re-pops as original and they get PO'd when you call them out on that too.
Finally had a day above 0 degrees so the Grey Ghost came out of the kitchen and hit the pavement for the first time! Its super smooth and is a lot of fun! Its a brand new Stingray with zero miles, whats not to love?
That, and only if it's a 7-speed bike and not a single speed skip; hard to justify paying $300 on a skip.
