i went to the chroming place and they wanted 70 euro for the fork. that included chemically stripping, rechroming and polishing. it isn't that much but considering that new chrome forks go for less than half it just feels wrong. plus i cannot really tell if there is pitting. it only looks like the chrome plating has rubbed off. i don't want to re-chrome a pitted fork no matter how original.

anyhow, i just ordered some oxalic acid so here are more questions:

- should i only do the bath outside?
- how would one dispose of an already neutralized solution?
- if it pretty diluted can you dump the solution in the toilet?

sorry for the ignorance. i checked all possible threads, but nobody offered a sound disposal solution.
