Cippo Posted November 7, 2014 Share 1) yes it can. My pina fork was forked. Had it redone and it looks spanking.2) yes it can. They tape it up and bobs your uncle.. However the place that did my fork had a colnago for this process.3) no ideas about Cape Town. Google will help. Keywords like electro plating Cape Town should give you something to work with.Hundreds!

DJR Posted November 7, 2014 Share 3 questions.1: Can a fork be rechromed without damaging it?2: Is it possible to rechrome a chainstay and rear dropouts?3: Who to go to for rechroming in Cape Town?Place called Glitterama did my re-chrome work. Let Google be your friend. Jared from BMC use them a lot too. Took ages, but my work was perfect. Not sure about how well they do part-frames.

He muttered something about tape and TAPE? my stays were in good enough condition. Thank the Pope.

Badsam Posted November 9, 2014 Share Anyone know what brand of frame this is? Has a mix of Campagnolo, Shimano 600 and Dura Ace components. There doesn't appear to be any branding on the frame besides the Alan stickers... but this clearly isn't an Alan as they all had the seat stays stamped. Lugs look very similar though. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/46935-retro-bicycle-thread/page/172/#findComment-2472604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Interesting that even back then, there might have been wannabees branding their Allen's into Alan's to look the part....

Loose cog Posted November 10, 2014 Share Anyone know what brand of frame this is? Has a mix of Campagnolo, Shimano 600 and Dura Ace components. There doesn't appear to be any branding on the frame besides the Alan stickers... but this clearly isn't an Alan as they all had the seat stays stamped. Lugs look very similar though.  It certainly looks like an Alan. The rear dropouts and lugs look similar. I don't recall having seen an Alan with an inner top tube brake cable. The one's I have seen all have the cable going through two or three mounts situated on the top of the tube.  My Carbonio also has carbon chain stays whilst the example posted has an alu chain stay. Is there any makings on the BB and or fork?

Badsam Posted November 10, 2014 Share There are no markings whatsoever, I'll take some better pics when I'm back home. As far as i know, i think Vitus and Peugeot had made similar carbon/ alu frames. So perhaps it's one of those... Had a look at the dropouts and lugs and looks identical to the Alan.
