there isn't any antipathy. it's related to the lack of efficient and quality platers who can, year in and year out, offer consistant work at a reasonable cost. in europe, the epa/osha type standards are different enough (from ours) that chrome, on steel frames, continues as a feature. also, over 'there' no one does just one frame; a typical situation would see a frame shop hand over dozens of pieces simultaneously. doing it on a one-frame-at-a-time basis is cost ineffective. e-RICHIE chester, ct
