Just used a polishing kit off ebay on my drill, plenty of emory cloth to flat down the dropouts and heaps of autosol. Takes a lot of time but the effort is worth it as the chroming process shows the tiniest of flaws and covers nothing. Just keep it in your mind that when you're polishing you want the metal to be as close to chrome looking as possible... any scratches etc will show up after plating so just take your time and the hard work will pay off That's what I thought you might say.Both the frames have some heavyish pitting, and its boring me shitless working on them.No wonder it has taken me so long to get them done.I am inspired by the job on your's though mate

Stunning Fantastic chrome work Go on how many hours did you put into polishing the frame ?
Trust me, for cranksville Wardy to comment on your bike it must be special, and it is.....very. I dont know why but Redlines are hardy ever built on here but i remember them more than any other race bick in the early eighties

I cant mate, it took me nearly two years to find them , and I still want a set for my race bike
