VERY nice indeed. 

Dougs have to be one of the very best chromers around, every time you get a pukker job.

The price can vary, depends if you give them a pig's ear to start with. They spend time on the polishing before the plating begins. Forks cost me £40, bars have cost me between £20-40, cranks £30 (opc £15). I've had whole framesets done too, i'll dig up some receipts.
