Hi drkdoesstrida,
welcome to the Stridaforum!
Does your Strida look like that:
Chrome and Bullhorn-bar Editions
I’ve never seen a chrome Strida in reality, so it might be a stupid question:
Are you sure that it is chrome plated and not highly polished aluminium?
(As far as I know the chrome-plating on aluminium is much more difficult and expensive than on metals like brass or iron.)
