Source for re-chroming front fork?
 
I have a circa 1980 Colnago road bike with a chrome front fork that needs refinishing. Anyone have a lead on a service for chroming bike parts?

Franklin Frame in OH re-chromed my Colnago fork crown. It was $125, as part of a re-paint. Not sure what the whole fork would be alone. https://www.franklinframe.com/

I have this place book-marked on my computer. I've never dealt with them, so I can't give you a review. Their prices seem reasonable.

Thanks, exactly what I needed!

I looked around a few years ago, and a place in/near St Louis seemed to have the best price at that time. I don't recall the name, though, and didn't re-chrome the fork due to other issues.

Have not done business with them.

Guess I should have been able to remember the name :)
But $50 for a fork, if it's good, can't be beat.
