PAGES RECENTLY ADDED
As you probably already know, I restore bicycles full-time in my workshops. Some are for resale and others for this museum collection. This museum and free public database is totally funded by sales of vintage bicycles. I take photos of most before restoration and update their pages after we have completed them. My mission is to help restore the bicycle to its pre-motorised place of glory.
The bicycles below were added between 2012 zand 2015. Click on any title to open its page:
