swooshdave Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Depends on who re-chromes them or who you can buy them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it probably depends on where you get them done. Where I live it is much cheaper to buy good second hand tubes than to rechrome and rechrome is cheaper than NOS. If you say where you live you may get some local advice on pricing and quality of finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bultaco49 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Hi - I have had two sets of Bultaco stanchions hard chromed at Philpotts (Luton) who can be found at http://www.pittedforks.co.uk/. Both jobs were excellent and I would recommend them. They will collect, grind our pitting, hard chrome, regrind and send back for Edited August 13, 2007 by bultaco49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
