There's probably a chrome plater in a metropolitan center like Pittsburgh. Check your yellow pages!!
In order to redo chrome, you'd have to strip the old chrome off. All of this requires nasty chemicals that aren't exactly available w/o a license (go EPA).
I would also be hesitant to rechrome anything that's structural on the bike. If it's just a show piece go for it. Chroming weakens metal.
