Best looking re-chrome I've seen in ages  :daumenhoch:  can I ask what price would you be looking at for a job like that? what condition was it in before the chrome and was it prepped in any way before you sent it or does the guy do it all? sorry for all the question lol but looking to have a frame set done myself,cheers  :daumenhoch:
There’s some pics and a bit about what it’s been through in the thread. One guy did the job for me. Price and time differs on frame condition and prep required. If you want a quote you can send some detailed pics to him and he’ll get back to you with an idea of what you’d be looking at. He’s user Jonnyb on here.

Looks amazing that Glynn mate  :coolsmiley:

I find with modern day chrome it often looks "thick" and takes definition away from welds and edges (a bit like powder compared to paint) but that really does look spot on mate.

She's gonna be a beauty  :4_17_5:
Yeah he’s managed exactly what I was hoping for. A chrome job that when you look at it , it’s got you scratching your head on if it just mint og or fresh.

Didn’t realise I’m missing a brake cable, chain and some calliper arm decals but I am pretty pleased with how it’s turning out so far.
