Don't forget to haggle with the guys at Chromefix init!!! ;) They charged me £110 for the frame

I've sent 2 Tange bottom brackets down to these guys this week (Monday), basically as I was so happy with the cranks they did for me. :smitten:
The way they quote their jobs though is mental :crazy2: it was so difficult trying to explain the parts I wanted doing, and how I wanted them that the guy there started to get a bit arsey and said, just send me some pics. Knowing how they don't ever reply to their e-mails, I interjected saying, how about I just send them 1st Class then phone up tomorrow for a price. ???
This was where I slipped up, too keen to finish my build, I sent them, phoned back next day to a guy saying we haven't worked out a quote, we'll call you back. I tried calling them yesterday, same response. Just got through to them now, eventually, for him to tell me it will cost me £35 :shocked:, it's a minimum charge apparantly.
So what could I say, just send them back to me?? Instead I just said, carry on, i'll send the cash down recorded. :idiot2:
I guess i'm just used to getting work done by Dan, Del and Steve on here at a good price without any fuss. :4_17_5:
At least i'll have 2 minty bottom brackets and my builds can still go ahead, I won't be sending anymore small parts to Chromefix.co.uk though. :(

To be fair most finishing companys have a minimum charge policy, ours for coating is £50 atm, tell them to wait and send them something else as well to try and cover the minimum charge, but like you say if its a top job worth paying that bit extra.

Ah, that's fair enough, i'll let them go with it, as the cranks they did were amazing, I paid nothing really for the BB's tbf, about 14 for both inc postage. :daumenhoch:

If they are good and you like the finish worth every penny bud :daumenhoch:
