Cheers yes I think re-plating is an option.I have been wondering about plating, the front and rear mudguards are pitted so either need plating or replacing. I have seen the front available as an aftermarket part but very often I have found the plating to be less than good. Then there is the cost of plating, what are your thoughts on the cost of plating and getting a good finish compared to new aftermarket?
Wheels and spokes are beyond saving so I will replace with alloy rims and stainless spokes -http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=22653.0;attach=54509;image
Thanks Andrew,The rims are very badly scored in a few places, not sure why, so I am not confident they will plate very well. Also there are no markings on the rims, weren't DID rims stamped?Having stuff plated is new to me and I received a price from a local company of £300 to have the front mudguard plated, is this a ball park figure at all?
