Rear brake rod colour?

Posted by pauli_lahti at February 06. 2012

Hi, Can anyone help me with this one?

Big 4 / 16H the late models (early 50'ies).

Were the rods chromed or painted black or something else?

The front end of my Big4 rod looks as if it had been chromed?

Can't be certain, though.

Thanks for help,

Pauli

Just a guess but I would think that if the bike was ex WD then it would be painted and if it was a civilian model then it would be chrome?
