It's more than that. Chroming involves a lot of toxic waste disposal, which is a RPITA these days. I
tried to get my old track bike chromes 3 years ago, but no one would do it. Finally got a real
explanation from a guy, who at least agreed to chrome the fork, and powder the rest. Seems that a
bike frame, with all those tubes that have vent holes, creates contamination of the various baths
with the chemicals from the previous bath, shortening the lifespan of the solutions.
