very nice,who rechromed it?? ???

BMX1973:
Hockley Chrome, Essex, re-chromed the F&F and the decals came from "DEL".
He waited about 2 months to get it back, but they were waiting on new polishing equipment to arrive to do things like frame sets and to do the hard to get to areas. He was a bit dubious about getting a rechrome because for example he did not want the knurling or the K polished out on the drop outs, also the stamping on the bottom bracket removed. But I must say I was surprised how good it came out and that all the stamping was kept. The photo of the rear dropout just goes to show how good it came out.

that looks stunning look forward to the build  :smitten:  question tho, do they strip off old chrome before the re chrome im guessing yes but just wondered  :daumenhoch:

BMX1973:
Yes, they do strip the chrome before rechrome. They have 2 ways of doing it a slow dip or quick dip, he opted for the slow dip which was more expensive, but worth it.
