Subject: [CR]$45 to strip/prep/chrome a fork?

stopped by a local chroming shop. they do all sorts of car parts, motorcycle bits, pretty much anything a gear-head could want chromed. says he's done literally hundreds of bicycle forks and knew what to do. quoted me $45 + 5% EPA hazardous waste disposal fee. seemed like a good price - i couldnt say "yes" fast enough. heck, i went ahead and gave him another fork to do @ the same time.

seem like a fair tariff for a fork?
