Stainless for longevity - Zinc/galvo for originality.

Well said Garry.L. Every bike i've owned that had the original spokes are now full of rust and are ready to get replaced with Bucahan ss spokes. Show bike or not.

I've got to get my rims rechromed and . Could I ask where you got yours done, is it a good job and how much it costs?

S/S spokes are more prone to breaking - but do look better, longer
