Jonny, it may help to locate a good chromer local to you, if you tell us where you're based. This will keep postage costs down IF you can drop off and pick up the parts yourself.  :daumenhoch:

I would imagine you'll be falling over chromers in Steeltown.

For frame, forks and bars you could be looking at anywhere between £200-300... maybe more.  ???

Not the cheapest but they know what there doing and loads of lads have used them on here and i haven't heard one bad report about them  :daumenhoch:

Yeah, seen the results in pictures on this site what Dan has done.  I haven't seen first hand either though.  Would be interested in who's seen it first hand.
