Restoration & Curation

Restoration & Curation is about more than simple servicing or repair. It can be hard to accept an old friend aging. If that old friend is a well-loved bike, it’s comforting to know it is possible to restore it to as good, or better, than new. Whether you want to modernize or stay true to vintage, we can help you find just the right parts for a rejuvenating, thoughtful restoration.

With our wide range of experience in everything bicycle—from wheels to complete custom bikes, Michael Hartley has built them all—we’re uniquely positioned to help you breath new life into a vintage bike or component.
