My position was (and, to be honest, largely remains) one of complete ambiguity.

Not really local, but excellent quality. Not cheap either. I have loads
done there over the years and it has lasted very well.

Your average decorative chrome platers don't do fork legs. That's a
specialist job for an industrial hard chromers, the type of people who
do JCB rams and suchlike.

There's a place in Newark, Notts who do a very good service but it's
never cheap. Have you considered new stanchions, sometimes it's
cheaper? ABE in Greenwich seem to be the most reasonable costwise, and
they'll make them to spec if needed.

Interesting, how did that tool work?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "CT" <me.DeleteThis@christrollen.co.uk> saying

Oh, you cunt.
That would be a double-cross, that would.

As others have said Sir will need hard chroming for the forks. This lot
might do it (I drive past on the way home rom "work" a couple of times a
week), but I don't know if they do small one-off jobs.
