BICYCLE RESTORATION
RESTORATION PROJECTS INVOLVING COMPLETE REPAINT HAVE AN APPROXIMATE 18 MONTH WAIT TIME. ALL OTHER RESTORATIONS INVOLVING MECHANICAL, REFURBISH AND PATINA PRESERVATIONS (CLEAR COAT ONLY) CAN BE DROPPED OFF DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
MEDIA BLASTING----removing all paint/decals and rust from steel or aluminum bicycle frame and forks using an abrasive media of aluminum oxide and corn cob(reduces heat) to expose base surface to begin the paint process. Most frame and fork sets take 1 hour to complete(some may take a little longer depending on condition)-----------Base Price $90/HR
TEAR DOWN----complete removal of all components of the bicycle separating each individual part from one another(including frame and fork) to begin the restoration,repair and/or replacement of parts. Bicycles with minimal rust are usually completely taken apart in about an hour while bicycles with excessive rust may need a little special treatment around rusty nuts, bolts, screws and fasteners. In some cases, even after treatment these areas may not break loose requiring us to cut and replace.------Tear Down Pricing $80(best case scenario)-$125(worst case scenario).
ASSEMBLY----complete assembly of bicycle project after paint and parts restoration/repair or replacement. Bicycle is properly assembled and is safe to ride while following your local bicycle safety laws and regulations. Geared bicycles are properly tuned. Wheels are trued and tire pressure is inflated to individual tire specification located on the sidewall of each tire. All brake mechanisms are fine tuned for proper braking and all bearings are properly greased unless sealed.-------Assembly Pricing for Cruiser Style Bicycles with Fenders, Chain Guard and or Tank Sides-$150 Assembly Pricing for Steel or Aluminum Road Bicycles with Derailleur-$135 Assembly Pricing for BMX Bicycles-$95 Assembly Pricing for Kids Tricycles-$72
PAINT----for all projects we use Nason Base Coats with Nason High Image Clear Coat unless otherwise specified by our client. Self etching primer is applied to bare metal and the project is sanded in between stages for a finer finish. Pricing varies based on paint color and type. Base Coat with Clear Coat is a 2 stage process while candy and most pearls are 3 stage. The red and orange family base coats usually cost a little more as well as candy and pearl paints.
DECALS----projects requiring decals receive several extra coats of clear coat over the whole surface area of the frame and fork unless client requests that the decals be placed over the final clear coat. Clear coat over the decals seals and prevents the decals from fading quicker through time. Decal pricing varies on the requirements of the bicycle originality. Some decals we use are water slide application and some may be adhesive application. Decal application requires a good eye, steady hand and is somewhat a form of art. Decal Prices range from $20-$78 Decal Application without clear coat Pricing-$30-45 Decal Application with clear coat Pricing-$55-75
CHROME PLATING----all frames, fork and parts receive acid bath for removal of existing paint, rust, decals, and contaminants.
