does anyone have any recommendations re. platers and or any idea on what constitutes a good price. i have a very straight supergoose frame with rotten chrome on it, way too bad for pollishing especiallly inside the gusset (as always).

I (and a few others on here) use Doug Taylor's in Weston-Super-Mare (near Bristol). Doug chromed my new school retro SE Quadangle frame and forks and charged me £160. He did all of the preparation work so all I had to do was drop the frame and forks off and collect it.
Turn around time is 4 weeks (which is pretty quick).
You can go to his website by clicking the www (globe) icon underneath my Arsenal avatar.
Here is a picture of his work. You can also see another picture of my bike in the Photo Display section of Doug's website.

will concur his work is top notch! you will be able to get it done cheaper elsewhere....but it won't be anywhere near as good!
GASHEAD has had a fair few frames done by him as well :daumenhoch:
