All I did was drop the frame and forks to them, they stripped the paint from the frame and the chrome from the forks, 4 weeks later... done.  As for the £140, they quoted me £180 but as I was paying cash the knocked ££ off.  I am not saying they will do that everytime though.  Nick has had something done recently so will know an up to date price of them.

However, I did take a set of forks there recently to be stripped of chrome ready for powder and they charged me £5 and took 4 days.  Also had a set of forks stripped and chromed about 6 months ago and they charged me £30.

If you want anything done, send it to me mate.

sorry for hi-jacking the thread Steve  :LolLolLolLol:

generallee:
hey Stidds, thanks for the info, Alex has pointed me in the direction of Geoff Cain who just had his Gen1 done by Hampshire Electro plating - and have done an awesome job - they used to do the chrome for Rickman bitd, plus a couple of other companies - and for a frame only have quoted me £120 which is damn good - including all the prep work.
SO i think I'll send it there, but its great to know you have people in bristol too - always good to have the knowledge of places!

He did my quadangle and it cost £140 frame and forks.  You can send it to me and I will take it to them and send it back.
