Bicycle restoration - reliable metalworkers in London, UK?
Anyone from London knows some reliable metalworkers with well equipped workshops and who don't charge an arm and a leg for their services? I'm restoring a bicycle with heavily rusted / pitted Huret Success Titane dérailleurs and shifters. I'm talking about chromed parts on these, chrome plating is beyond saving. So I was thinking about getting a few bits (screws, dérailleur plates, cable adjusters, headset lock nuts) sandblasted. This way I could at least do some bluing on them to prevent rust and keep them in working order. The wheels are alloy, I can clean these myself using tools I have, the frame is going to get sand blasted when I get it powder coated, but these small bits of the components are a massive pain in the neck to bring to a decent condition without a sand blasting cabinet and the right tools (which I don't have).
