How do you strip chrome?

Powder is good for tubes as the electrical charge collects the paint up the tubes so maybe they were early adopters....

I'm coming across as a bit of a nerd here, but, I believed stove e was predominantly a UK process with respect to bike frames.

Thanks for the advice, not had a chance to try sanding the frame yet as I've been away.
I just thought it might be overly expensive to get the frame electrochemically dipped just to remove the remaining remnants of chrome.
I doubt very much I would chrome plate this frame, it would cost several times what the frame itself cost.
Are you saying media blasting will remove chrome too? I presume soft media, I've read not to use hard blast on bike frames.
