While I would recommend it sparingly and gently, you can use a bench grinder with a buffing pad along with some white rouge, or if necessary Tripoli compound, to gently smooth the pitted areas. Although you won't remove much chrome, you do have to keep in mind that you need to polish evenly, as conceptually I guess you could flat spot. Another alternative might be the inexpensive legs that Cycle X is selling. I also agree that the epoxy seems like a short lived fix.
