Title: MMMMM.....CHROME!!
Post by: deeman on September 13, 2015, 12:05 PM
Just had a couple of bits chromed and they came out so well I thought I would share. Both items were nos but it is still a beautiful job. I had them done by a friend of a friend I met at a party a while ago....he was admiring my bike and he mentioned he had a chroming business. I needed a couple of bits doing recently so thought I would give him a shout. He is up for doing more bits and is well aware of the sympathy needed with old bike parts! turnaround is usually no more than 3 weeks and he is based in Wembley near the stadium. If anyone would like more details let me know........
