I can't comment on Franks Forks as to quality and reputation, but this company has been around for a long time which says something about his success. If he wasn't any good he wouldn't have stayed in business all these years.
Years ago I wrote to him about a fork problem and over the years he has sent me a catalog from time to time, but I never did buy anything.
He offers a wide range of services for a wide range of bikes. I would check him out.

I have done this on quit a few occasions and it dose work as long as the pits are not to bad ! other wise its re chrome or new stations . or a good set of second hand ones !
