Plenty of inventory, over 100 bikes available for restoration

A resent inquiry wanted to know if I had any bikes left. Forgive me for not being clear. While I only have 3 ready for pick up I have plenty available for restoration. With the summer season in full swing most customers have been pre ordering their bikes so they have not shown up here for sale. James is a systems engineer, lives 1 mile from work and does not own a car. He was looking for his 2nd bicycle and wanted to try the Fixed Gear experience. The solution is a 63CM Astr0Diamler lugged Reynolds 531 frame, Formula hubs, Alex rims. Give me a call and see what we can come up with for you. 502-552-5669

What have I been doing all summer?

I have received several emails questioning why I have done so little posting this summer. The answer is that I have sold most of my inventory that is available for immediate pick up so customers have been picking out bikes for me to restore from inventory and the are sold before restoration. I have also done several restorations of customer owned bikes. It has been pointed out to me that allot of folks enjoy seeing my work weather they are in the market for a bike or not. So in response I will be posting pics of all my restorations even if they are already sold.
