Simichrome, Dremel with polishing wheels and a few microfiber cloths.

I wish I had access to an actual polishing wheel :(

Any motorcycle shop should have it for sure, I haven't bought it for years.

They wouldn't, you need to find an old school cruiser for that. I saw one in the back of a minivan lined up for the big Roseville recycling day last weekend. :?

All together, just needs the wheels cleaned up, some detail work and decals along with a master link for the chain of course so I can actually ride it.

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a pair of these in the next few months,

I got my master link on the way home and took the Raleigh for a spin, man is it nice to ride a bike that actually fits me!!

Mine now fully functional and with a total cost of about $25.00 along with the Raleigh I just picked up for Jake for free and it amazingly needs nothing but bar wrap and cleaning :)

Mines just waiting for a decal set to finish it off 8)
