There's a place in The Midlands that have done stuff for me Daz, they were good, not cheap but good.

www.chromefix.co.uk

Having said that though, they charged me £50 to do my ladder bars inc postage back which is ok I suppose. :daumenhoch:

I've used Leigh metal polishers on Harcourt ind est between Walkden and Farnworth. They do a good job and there's a powder coat place next door.

Depends how good quality and cost or  the convenience

Allens of Pocklington , many amazing references of their work  :4_17_5:

or

Leigh polishers ,Swinton  not far from you I had a few bits done some turned out like new and some the quality control was  slack  :-\

Meticulous and Cheekythirtysix  use a place  over Oldham  way  :)

loads to choose from , but of course reccomendations are the only  way  ;)

Leigh Metal Polishers have stripped a couple of f&f's for me and re-chromed a crank, spider and seat post for me.
Done a sound job on the bits but not sure what a f&f would be like.
Like H'dubber says you need good recommendations from someone who's got 1st hand experience.  :daumenhoch:

I've heard good things about them, but not used them myself yet. They'll be gettimg some bits of mine shortly. If they do a good job i'll trust them to do the hutch frame, forks & bars  :)

See what Sam "Meticulous" has to say - he's around your way.  I'm fortunate to own a couple of his bikes and believe me he's not call "Meticulous" for nothing....
