Hi,

I have just received my Tioga Rhino Charge back after getting it re'chromed at Doug Taylor Metal Finishing. The finish is excellent!

Cool  :coolsmiley: that looks a nice job  :)

Where abouts are they based, and what did they charge for the frame and forks?

Doug is based just outside of Bristol, I have used them loads for chroming and they are top class, Gashead and Pickle have also used them and never get any problems.

I paid £150 plus the VAT, the finish is superb, even the hard to get to places, turn around was six weeks.

What sort of state was it in before you sent it away?

I bought the frame off southern Andy. It had three layers of brush paint on it, I removed the paint to find the chrome had been keyed to hold the paint coat. The chrome would have been pretty good before that. The price was for the frame only.
