Chrome question, has anybody used these people?

Oregon used to have many good chrome plating shops. Then the EPA cracked down due to ground-water issues, air quality was another thing. The one shop in Oregon City actually ships the goods to be chromed to Idaho, just east of the Oregon Border near NAMPA.

I'm about to do a road trip from Portland to St. Louis and thought about states that might have less regulation plus less average cost of living and came across these good people who actually list bicycles as a part of what they do.

That alone impresses me.

$60 for a fork isn't the worst I ever imagined.

I am wondering if anyone has anything to say about this company, or if they recommend someone else in UT, AZ, NM, CO, TX, OK, KS or MO.

Thanks
