Being from the 1980's generation of BMXers I grow up with Chrome Frame and Forks, so we have always had a soft spot for this finish on a frame and forks.
This era of frame finishes seem to be in product from the early 1980's to the mid early 1990's, then slowly paint finishes came in, not sure if this coincided with manufacturing moving more to the Far East or to try promoting fresh looks in to selling the bikes (which is understandable to survive in the down turns). well over the last decade bikes have been finished in staggering amount of colours and effects to keep people interested.
Slowly but surely over the last year or so we have noticed Chrome frame and forks showing up in Bike Shows and in the shops. Maybe this is because the Old School BMX scene has gone from strength to strenght and crazy money is being paid for original old school BMX Bikes and parts through Ebay for example.
You get Old School Racers, Meets and hundred of enthusiastic collectors who have more than a couple of bmx bikes in their collection.
I have read the Chrome plating process in more expensive than a paint job and may weigh a fraction which could put off all thoughs riders who are hooks on keeping the weight down (Their bikes that is !) however I dont think the extra weigh is negligible.
One good thing about chrome is it very hard wearing and hard to scratch.
Personally I think the Chrome looks timeless now and should be a regular finish if the demand is there, and hopefully it will be and may get some old boys actually riding again.
Below is a select of the latest Chrome Frame and Forks to from the BMX Companies. If anyone wants to promote any companies I have missed off please contact the Team as will we would love to show it off.
