Morning Peeps
Just wondering if anyone can provide a ball park figure for the Above please ?
And can anyone recommend someone from London / Kent / Surrey / essex to do this ?
Cheers
Addy

It's a crappy process. what are you planning for the frame and forks once it's done? if it's a powder job then can't you just do that over the original chrome?
-
For F&F budget around 300
Please be aware who ever you use you will get some yellowing around the Bottom Bracket due to the limitations on process/chemicals that can be used these days.
That price does NOT include any repairs to the frame such as rebuilding drop outs or dents :daumenhoch:

Hockleys in Southend buddy. They usually charge around £40 for the fork and £100 for the frame.
Their turn around time is approx 12 weeks though, sometimes less.
I have had 2 frames, 2 fork and 3 handle bars done with them so far :daumenhoch:

Were any of the bars stamped Terry? Got some Redline stamped bars arriving tomorrow, which i think are gonna need a re-chrome.

The Haro bars were stamped and the Torker bars had the knurling on the stem area. The Torker bars were shot to be honest so the knurling is a little faint now but the Haro bars are amazing :daumenhoch:
I found it best to go and see them and point out the areas that needed special care and attention to detail :coolsmiley:

This ^^^^^^ is absolutely key advice , NEVER assume someone will do something you ask of them if you don't explain it & point it out in person .

This is some of the detail I pointed out to them. I told them I wanted it crystal clear and they MUST keep them there and not polish it out.
This is the results :daumenhoch:
