    Hi all, I have a few small bike bits which need rechroming, does anyone know of somewhere local which will dip these?

    Lightning Services on Hilperton Marsh Farm can get chrome plating done for you.
    Not in house, he uses S&T over in Bristol, but it's the same price so saves you the petrol.

    We were discussing getting frames done at Bath Classic this week but no one mentioned chrome. I'll ask around.

    I've heard of S&T before. They are ment to be very, very good, but not the cheapest. But I supppose you get what you pay for.

    I'll have a hunt, see if there is anything I need chroming. Anyone else want to make a batch up???

    If that could be done, we'll divvy the cost up.

    I've got a few bits in bad need of chroming, but I'd have to find a period when I don't actually need them......kinda hard to ride without wheels :-?
