About

The best vintage and classic bike shop in Louisville!

Story

Specializing in vintage road bike restoration. My restoration process begins with careful selection of quality lugged steel road bikes from the '70s and '80s.

Each bike is completely disassembled and carefully inspected. The frame is then cleaned and polished. All bearing systems (head set, bottom bracket, and hubs) are inspected, cleaned, greased, reassembled and properly adjusted. Wheels are trued and spokes properly tensioned before installing new tires, tubes and rim strips. The bicycle is then reassembled, replacing any other worn parts as needed. Restoration is completed with the application of cotton bar wrap finished off with hemp twine and shellac.

Choose one of my bikes or bring in your own!

I currently have more than 300 vintage bicycles available for restoration including Schwinn, Raleigh, Peugeot, Motobecane, Ross, Masi, DeRosa, DeBernardi, Puch, Astro Diamler, Nishiki, Atala, Zullo, Concord, ItalaVega, Dawes, Fuji, KHS and Trek. Frame sizes range from 47CM to 63CM.

My inventory is constantly changing but on a given day I'll have a wide selection of brands and sizes.

Stopped in to check the place out, and had a wonderful experience. Even tho we didn't purchase anything this time. The guy working there was excellent with all the knowledge he dropped for my friends and I. On our next group ride we are swinging by before riding over to the park, even if not to buy something new at least for a quick tune-up on the bikes. Great prices and with a knowledgeable staff definitely one of my new favorite places in the highlands.

Awesome customer service and very reasonable prices compared to any of the other bike shops in Louisville, would definitely recommend.

Do not use your UofL bike vouchers here! You will not get a fair deal on parts. Vic charged me $120 for 2 gatorskins and $80 for a $20 seat. My two bikes each took 2 weeks for a tune up (total $130). He'll tell you a couple days in the shop and then you won't hear from him for weeks. I posted my invoice I got from vic on my local club Facebook page and most people weren't surprised. However an affiliate of his said that it is my fault for getting ripped off because I was not a smart shopper. If you want a LBS that has your back this one is not it!

Vic is in there working hard! He wants to make sure you will use whatever you intend to buy. He offers great advice and even gives you some pro tips to extend the life of your product. Such a friendly atmosphere. The house dog won me over too. :)
