Anyone know where to get polished chrome steering tube spacers and a shiny seat post?

Thanks,

Chrome certainly requires steel, and most of these spacers are aluminum. Likewise seat posts. Your better bet is to polish aluminum. Simichrome polish does a pretty good job of making aluminum shiny. Once you get it where you want it, at a minimum you want to add some wax to protect the finish, and maybe even spray on a layer of clear coat. Otherwise, you'll be polishing on a regular basis, though it's not a huge amount of work.

As Kerry said, make your own. I posted this earlier this week and the retro board.

Try some BMX sites. These kids certainly get into style and there may be some fashionable offerings in that market.

I've never seen chrome HS spacers by a BMX company. You can get chrome seatposts, but they're steel. All the BMXers want is black stuff now anyway.

To Kerry: Odyssey, Araya, Sun and many more manage to chrome their aluminium rims for the BMX market. Before Odyssey's Duraelectra hard anodizing (by Stanford in the US) chrome rims were the only way to get any decent braking with a U brake....hence you will see many a black BMX with a chrome rear rim.

I'll add on to that....when you wear the chrome off the rim there is a bronze coloured surface underneeth...I'm not sure if they cover the aluminium rim in bronze and then chrome the bronze.

Also, the chrome Hazzard Lite rim is 40grams heavier than the old black version. The Duraelectra coating is supposed to be lighter than the chrome, but the two I've weighed were very slightly (6 or so grams) heavier.
