re-chroming?

[Jonny]

Hi, anyone got any decent contacts for re-chroming and a rough price?

Cheers,
Jonny

Rough price for what... frame, forks, bars ?

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. 

[Jonny]

ha!  Yeah would help if i gave some more info.  Forks, frame and bars, just want to see if it's worth it otherwise will go with powder.

I live about 20 mins away from Sheffield pal.  Near to Sherwood Forest.

Cheers!

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. 

[Jonny]

Going off your location I would try Allen Chrome http://www.allenchrome.co.uk/  There in York .

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 

[Jonny]

Thanks for letting me know on both counts!

There is Chrome Powder coating now you know,  haven't seen it but believe there are good results with customising with it 

[Jonny]

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.
