Subject: [CR] chrome replating question


Looks like my Chater Lea cranks arms need to be replated. Apparently Hex plating is what is required.

The closest place I've found so far is in Richmond VA. I'm in Silver Spring MD. Anyone know of a place closer to me that does this type of work?

Any insight appreciated.

I do realize that I'm going to lose the engraving, but it does appear necessary. Then again, maybe not.

There is a little rust, but it's the pitting that concerns me. Also, is this an indication that the crank is not safe to use?

Would hate to find out while riding.

Thanks,
