Our Approach

Assessment & Documentation

Before any work begins, we create a comprehensive record of the bicycle's condition. This includes frame geometry measurements, component inventory, and photographic documentation of original finishes.

Frame Preparation

Careful disassembly reveals the frame's true condition. We inspect lug joints, check alignment, and assess structural integrity. Only after thorough evaluation do we proceed with restoration.

Finishing & Assembly

The final stages involve applying period-appropriate finishes, reassembling with care, and ensuring every detail matches the original specification. The result honors both form and function.
