| We are a Green Operation! Recycling Secondhand bikes We only deal with used bikes- repairing, restoring and customizing them. Our goal is to provide the community with reliable bikes as we attempt to make sure that no bike goes to waste! |
| Custom Powder Coating Powder Coating is a process where a bike is totally dismantled then the frame is de-greased, sandblasted to remove all of the previous paint and rust. Once this is completed the frame is heated to over 450 degrees and sprayed with millions of particles of a specially designed plastic which adhere and melt to the bare metal resulting in a pristine coating significantly more durable than any paint. The frame can be rebuilt with either the original components if they are intact, similar components from that period or specially ordered components if you choose. Ultimately you have a "new" custom bike designed to your specifications. Below is our most recent project where a used vintage German frame was transformed into an awesome lightweight flat black 10 speed equipped with all period alloy components and rims with new tires, cables and cable coating |
The following bikes are just a few of our favorites that have been restored and sold |

| One of our Powder Coating Successes - A 1960's Schwinn Tandem which was in extremely poor condition - it had been outside for many years and was rust covered - frame and components. The bike was disassembled by BulldogBikeRestoration - the frame was powder coated Zinc Yellow with Orange highlights - each component had to have all the rust removed, de greased with some components needing repaired. We are very proud with the end result and our client is ecstatic. Another example of how a barely salvageable bike was restored "New Vintage" bike with new life to be enjoyed! |
| Another one of our powder coating projects- This old frame went from looking like this |
| to this awesome custom built Road Bike |

A Marketing Restoration! Our latest powder coating project was to transform a vintage harmony bike from Holland into clean coordinated color scheme for a clients apparel shop. The Harmony was in rough condition - a lot of rust, an original bad black paint job and a complicated design made for a very challenging undertaking. But in the end, the endless hours of disassembling it, shipping the frame to be sandblasted and powder coated and then reassembling to the clients specifics was worth it - the bike is "like new" -a beautiful green and off-white with black which now is having the shop's name and website added to the tire and chain guards. What a great practical avenue to market the client's shop! If you have a bike are interested in having it restored and colored contact us at Restoring Classics |
