Trying to get a VDC Changa F&F Re-Chromed

[LeeVDC]

Hi All

Just need confirmed the following;

A 1984 VDC Changa F&F is definitely 4130 Chromoly?

And why are all the chrome platers I approach to dechrome, prep and re-chrome telling me that they CANNOT re-chrome Chromoly steel? Is this true?

I had no probs getting some a hutch forks rechromed, and they were 4130 tubing.

As far as i know, if it has chrome on it now, i can be reversed and replated.

I have quite a bit of chroming done, 4130 all the time, they're bullshitting you out of being lazy because the polishing won't be an easy job on the frame.

I think the only explanation is that chromers want to get rid of those blokes with stoopid kids bikes

Both Nick and myself use the superb Doug Taylor's in Weston-super-Mare.  They charge about £180 for frame and forks to be chromed.

Doug Taylor does a great job of chrome plating, he even makes Nick's builds look good
