Classic Brands and Styles
Most of the bikes are step-through models from the 1970s, giving them a distinctive vintage feel and an easy, comfortable riding style that made these frames so popular in their era. The collection includes well-known classic brands such as Bianchi, Peugeot, Univega, and Centurion. Owning one of these bikes means owning a genuine piece of bicycle heritage.
Details Done Right
Many of the frames have been carefully repainted as part of the restoration process. Some have been brought back to their original factory colors to preserve their historical character. Others feature fun, vibrant custom color schemes that give them a fresh and unique personality. The original decals have been meticulously recreated and restickered after extensive research into the original brand markings—truly going down the rabbit hole to get the details right. Beautiful touches like chrome hammered fenders add shine and character, helping each bike stand out.
Each bike has been thoroughly refurbished with new components to ensure it rides as well as it looks. This includes new chains, fenders, pedals, seats, cranks, grips, cables and housings, handlebars, tires, and tubes. The goal was not only to restore the visual beauty of these bikes but also to make them reliable, comfortable, and ready for everyday riding. Every bike is also equipped with a Japanese Crane bell. These thoughtful upgrades mean the bikes feel solid, smooth, and dependable while still maintaining their vintage character.
Affordable Prices for a Quality Ride
Fully refurbished bikes of this quality would typically sell for around $1,700 on the market today. Especially considering the time, parts, and expertise required to restore them properly. However, these bikes will be offered at an affordable price—generally $300 – $500. They are already for sale and ready to ride, making them an incredible value for anyone who appreciates vintage style and quality craftsmanship in a bicycle.

Every piece was thoughtfully considered to create something that feels both authentic and beautifully finished. The level of care and effort put into these restorations is honestly a little insane—in the best possible way. It shows in every detail of the finished bikes.
