Thanks for the input, I think I agree that a smooth repair without re-chroming would be the best option. Re-chroming would probably be really expensive and I'm not even sure in how far it would be possible since the whole frame is chromed and I don't know if it's possible to get a clean transition between the old and the new chrome.

i say just repair. frame has seen a lot, was well looked after. if you replace the stay or patch over it and braze it it will live on but if you get it rechromed it will look out of place (in contrast with the patina it has). if it was mine, it would bother me more than a replaced bare (laquered) stay.. would make me do a full resto and that's a slippery slope
