Fork Re-Chroming

[Mr Nick]

I'm going to strip the forks out of the TS & get them redone as the section between the triple clamps has some pitted spots. The actual swept section is blemish free, but the top bit just detracts from the look of it.
I've done some searching around and I'm wondering if any denizens of the forum have experience of anyone, good or bad?

A.M. Philpot in Luton seem to have a decent reputation, but there are a few other options out there, like Brook and Dynasurf who are both cheaper. Knowing the chances of getting another pair of stanchions to be seriously limited, I'd rather go with someone who is more likely to succeed regardless of the price.

I've never had any work done by them but I have been in contact with Brook suspension via email & phone for the last few days trying to sort a 'stiffer' spring for my rear shock.
They have been very helpful & very quick to get back via email with answers to my questions.
I spoke on the phone to a Marc Pearson today to order the spring & arranged to get the shock to him for the fitting & returned to me. Very pleasant & easy to deal with. I know that doesn't mean they'll do a good job in the workshop but it's a good sign.
If you haven't made a decision yet and do want to speak to him .......

I used these blokes about 15 years ago, and the quality of finish was excellent. A little more dull than normal showroom shiny chrome would be my only minor criticism.

Cheers for those responses. I had come across your lot Aldo: I'm not overly fussed about 50's Americana chrome shine, just as long as they're not satin look. I'll fire a couple of emails off tomorrow about lead time and the whole door to door price & see what responses I get.
