My recollection is-- Good: very pretty & don't have to worry about scratching paint. Also it might be possible to check yourself in the frame to see if you have a bad case of helmet hair. Bad: weighs more than paint. Possibility of improper job leaving salts in frame to accelerate rust.

How's that?
