Hi matt, i wouldnt say it was perfect, there was a couple of spots that they didnt seem to polish rite around the bottom bracket area but andys pro class seems to have the same problem (top of bb bracket between the two tubes)

The bars and forks however are perfect....the frame was real shot anyway with deep rust on the rear triangle which show a few blemishes, i think maybe he couldnt be arsed  :LolLolLolLol:....thought about getting it powdered black and calling it a pro class which some do (it was a supergoose 3).

if its perfection you want ive never seen it on a restoration good luck

Was it nickel coated first?

Maybe that was why it was £170 rather than £60.

plus be carefull with most chromers make sure they
guarantee there work as its hard to chrome frames
as it arks around the bottom bracket
and is not as thick of chrome
ie yellowing .and will rust there first

no complaints with biagio and his chromer,  it won best race bike at bournemouth, and his price for a frame and forks was cheaper than your chromers price for a pair of wheels   :D
i love ya really mr lee :-*
