sorry to hear about your fook up dude but it seems to be the same old story with chromers who have no idea how much these bikes mean to us like dan said if the chromers into old school bmx ,then the job would be spot on i had the same thing once ,and i had to wait six months and i knew a polisher who in the 80's just polished lengths of 531 tubing before it went back to be made into frames , i'v used butts of burnerworld for small parts and they are spot on ,he has some frames on his thread at the moment ,and they look nice check out the heavy copper plating on pitted parts http://www.burnerworldforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php't=16179&start=0
So guess wot...I called them up today to make sure all is well and to save me a 60mile round trip if it wasn't...yup not ready Lady said the Chromers were altering the "chrome solution" to get a better finish on my frame and bars... sounds like bollox to me...something bout Titanium I've sitting here smiling to myself at the moment as this has gone on so fooking long now. Apparently next Wednesday now

Speak to Carl "In2bmx" he's been getting some nice work done lately by his new chromer
blimey Al,what a nitemare!!i find the most frustrating thing about chromers is the turn around time,but to then get another lash up just about takes the biscuit.hockley have done my cw,im just waiting for them to post it back
jesus,what a fookin mare mate,i know how you feel after my t.a debacle,i wanted to cry!!i just hope my cw is ok,hockley said they were happy how it went so lets hope so,although they did say there was a tiny bit of pitting where the frame meets by the seat tube which i guess is understandable.instead of waiting in happy anticipation of its return i feel like im waiting for a headache to arrive,all to familar with chromers, although the flights they did for me were awesome so fingers crossed.im done with chromers after this one,well frames and forks that is as ive got two sets of star bars to be done soon then that is defo it,it will be powder coated bikes only!!!
