Hey guys,

It was just a thought, but I've got a nice frame that would look great like this... http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/wilier-cromovelato-788.

so I was wondering where I could get a frame and forks cromovelato'ed and how much it would be.

I guess it's a bit of a longshot and expensive, but any info would be appreciated.

thanks!

Is the frame already chromed?

there's a reason why columbus refuse to allow bike manufacturers to chrome their tubes now. I like it on classic bikes but I wouldn't pay for it to get done to one that it wasn't original on, but that's just me-for a full bike you'd be looking at a couple of hundred quid anyway going by Mercian's prices.

unfortunately the frame isn't chromed. Shame that.

Full chrome on its own is about £450

That's not cromovelato. That's ramato. You can only find vintage bikes like that cause now, in Italy at least, to do that stuff is forbidden cause of its pollutions...

This one was refinished in Italy just last year.

I've had better quotes for full chroming, not confirmed though

This is cromovelato. The Wilier like that one are usually ramato. It means they use rame (copper) doing it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
