i used a place in Canvey to get some LG's show-chromed, they came out 'spot on' and only £20 !!

theres a place in Southend (Hockley Chromers), who I think did some work for Jimwise ?

Nick and I use Doug Taylor down here in the Bristol area Steve.

He did my quadangle and it cost £140 frame and forks.  You can send it to me and I will take it to them and send it back.

Sean,

140 is a good price,

a mate of mine gets loads of Triumph Stag parts done by Doug Taylor's - he says they are 2nd to none, but I thought they were expensive from what he told me?

I may jump on this and send something your way for chroming?

did the 140 inc. prep-work? etc...

All I did was drop the frame and forks to them, they stripped the paint from the frame and the chrome from the forks, 4 weeks later... done.  As for the £140, they quoted me £180 but as I was paying cash the knocked ££ off.  I am not saying they will do that everytime though.  Nick has had something done recently so will know an up to date price of them.

However, I did take a set of forks there recently to be stripped of chrome ready for powder and they charged me £5 and took 4 days.  Also had a set of forks stripped and chromed about 6 months ago and they charged me £30.

If you want anything done, send it to me mate.

sorry for hi-jacking the thread Steve 

[generallee]

hey Stidds, thanks for the info, Alex has pointed me in the direction of Geoff Cain who just had his Gen1 done by Hampshire Electro plating - and have done an awesome job - they used to do the chrome for Rickman bitd, plus a couple of other companies - and for a frame only have quoted me £120 which is damn good - including all the prep work.
SO i think I'll send it there, but its great to know you have people in bristol too - always good to have the knowledge of places!

And atfer lookin at pics of Nick's bikes and Doug being in the biz for 28yrs. I am so excited to be getting it all back next week.

Anyone got any thoughts on how much it would be to get a set of steel rims re-chromed 

I guess they could be located anywhere as they wouldn't be too costly to post
