Here's some food for thought MG Cycles lists crashbars for $66.45 a side. Of
course finding the other stuff new will be a pain.

and Cycle Garden will rechrome them for $130 a pair
http://www.cyclegarden.com/restoration_frames.html(Note these are EPA
choked high end Calif prices but should give you an idea)

Either way Ka-Ching (expect $$$$$$)

OK, I know I'm new to the list, and this has probably been discussed
before, so bear with me. I have all of the chrome off the Ambo and want
to send it out for rechroming. It's not real bad, mostly small rust
pits, etc. Anyone have a chromer they would recommend, or any idea how
many hundreds I'll be out for crash bars, shifter, brake lever, brake
and clutch levers?

We have some local chromers here, but I don't know them well enough to
trust.

I'm assuming that it is cheaper to have these parts rechromed than to
buy new, right?
