The guy that's chroming my forks and cranks does copper plating, I can find out if he does brass when I pick them up next week. He's based near Uxbridge in Hillingdon, NW London.

GMAC, if you're close to Camberley, did you ever know the Preece brothers or Jason Nash?

That bikes off its tats!!!! Nice one

Lacquered I hear you say?

I'd like to lacquer a street beat that I've got, one of them unpainted herberts - do ya reckon it can be done and would it be expensive to do??

Nothing to it, just clean it up and spray it with laquer, or get a pint shop to do it. Shouldn't be expensive
