Spectrum told me approx $700 for a complete frame/fork chrome plated. I was told of a guy in York that would do it for around $250 or so. He does a lot of motorcycle and custom car work. I've been hearing stories that chroming a frame can cause it to become brittle. Do you guys have any thoughts on that? I really want to get my "butchered" International nickel plated, so that is what is up my sleeve.
