A good chromer that does bicycle frames and parts well sometimes feels like a unicorn, for the reasons stated above. Every so often someone starts up a thread on where to find a good chromer for bicycle frames I .would love to see a thread where someone actually goes through the process of getting said frame chromed, with pictures before and after - and the shop is still in business, and the work was done in a reasonable amount of time. @
jyl chromed a 650b conversion (with custom racks) that I did for him a few years back, and it over a year to get the job done. I think it was someone in Vancouver, WA?
