September 17th 2023 Vintage Vancouver Bicycle Swap Meet

An update: as most of you know I am suffering from a neurological issue which makes it difficult for me walk, talk even typing is hard but I realized that most of you don’t know that last year ( on Aug 6 ) my shop burned down and I am no longer in business and considering my physical health it’s probably not a bad thing. Thanks for your support though out the years, I enjoyed painting for you and being part of the bike industry.

Saw Snake Eyes last night. Nice to see a prop we painted.
( usually we paint bikes )

Does your carbon frame needs fixing?

It’s a great time of year to get your bike repaired !!!
Get it done before spring comes !

Got to restore this beautiful X4 from the 80's
What a beauty.

A lot of time was spent restoring this 1980’s Zunow frame and fork. After we fixed all the rust damage we restored the chrome on chain stay and fork crown using our spray chrome system. We then gave the bike a beautiful red candy paint job and installed Zunow decals and before we gave it its final clear we filled all the embossing with yellow and white paint.
All this seemed to take for ever but well worth the result.

A happy customer sent us a photo of his restored Guerciotti.

After Robert's Composites repaired this Bianchi we got to add a custom paint job, a subtle grey met. to burgundy met. fade and finish off with a matte clear.

We got this beauty out this week. A S5 with a brilliant gold horizontal stripe separating the black pearl bottom and the pure white top.

Here it is George's green mean machine, a Dekerf built 36r.

Andy sent us these photos of his finished bike.
Thanks, Andy, for the challenge and these great photos.

They are not all carbon race bikes, We did this beauty a few years ago. It came together nicely.
(photos by customer)

This beauty was painted with House of Kolor’s Specral FX colour, one of the most expensive colours we have. Looks amazing, no?

A sneak preview of something fun we are working on...

took a bit of time to get this one out

Something a little different but fun.

Always happy to finish some vintage Brodies. One from the 1980's, #404.
The other a 1990 Catalyst with newer Gatorblades and two of Paul's recently built stems (only one shown)
