This is an easy flip, nearly all original Trek 4300. Amazing shape for a Cornwall bike😊

Who hoo another Cornwall build. Restomodded 2006 Giant XTC se. tried the 32mm air fork from ZTZ, for the money I am impressed. 1x9 conversion make all the difference.

UK bike # 2 completed and ready to go. Interesting working on different bikes here than in Canada. SERIOUS is a mtb brand from Germany. It’s a basic 27.5 with cable disc brakes. Super easy to upgrade if so desired 😉

First UK bike completed. Such a challenge, discovering where to source parts, what bikes to purchase, and what people will want. Hopefully this hybrid commuter will fit the bill for some one in Cornwall 😊

Mmm old school late 80’s early 90’s semi restorations….. don’t get them a lot, but when we do it takes me right back to my youth! *t

Now here’s a fun project! Take an old ‘70’s Baycrest 10 spd strip it down and build it back up as a 15spd commuter /city bike. 😀😀

Another new frame up build. Love taking the old school frames and making them relevant with todays rides.

What do you do with an old frame and a whole bunch of old school parts? Build a fun bike of course!!

Nice big HARO FL29 hard tail build out of the shop this morning. 29er’s are fun… but BIG 😉. Now to find it a new home.

ANOTHER Caldera finished and up for sale. These retro mod bikes make me giddy!

This build was a bit more challenging.. Jake the snake to an urban commuter. Flat bar conversion, disc brake conversion, 1x9 drive conversion.. and the dreaded PF30 bottom bracket replacement. But fun, none the less 😊

Building bikes and watching the sun rise!! Happy Monday!

Another able hard tail done and ready to roll. Love when a build is started with just a bare frame.. so much freedom as to what it becomes😊. Needs a happy new home now.

Had the KONA Caldera Restomod out for a rip this morning. Trails were epic. Tortured the love them!!

Building up some retro-ish mountain bikes tonight.. or as I like to call them.. “ affordable daily riders” 😊😊

This one’s been sitting in the locker for over a year collecting dust! It had been picked over, cannibalized and almost scrapped several times. But alas, she lives!!! The suspension rocks on this Faith 2 build love it!! If it wasn’t a size too large I’d keep it!

Bits and pieces make an epic old school full squish.

Look at this bad boy. The original “Mullet” BiG HiT Comp FsR. Fully resto’d and ready to get someone out bucking it! 26/24 WOW!

Fun build from this old school m850. Built specifically for the Tofino surf crowd, right down to the decals! Fully distressed and patina’d frame/parts and built up to withstand the west coast weather. Just the board rack left to install.

It’s a bitter sweet look back at the last couple years, and the things that were important to the Joe crew. We thank eve...
