There is a guy on ebay user name rick9662 in Garden Grove, Ca. I have dealt with him in the past. I had him do my calipers, controls, footboard brackets. He does good work and is reasonable. Depending on where you live shipping costs can be an issue?

Check around for a local chromer. Go to a bike show or a bike night. There's no need to be shippng parts to be chromed.

The EPA has put most local chromers out of business, shipping parts to get chromed has become the norm in many parts of the country.
