Bike Restoration Done Right – Classic to Carbon
Love your bike but it’s seen better days? I’ve got you covered.
At Kovrlija & Co, I offer full bicycle restoration services—from vintage steel road bikes and retro mountain bikes to modern carbon frames. Whether it’s a cherished classic or a high-performance machine, I’ll bring it back to life with care and craftsmanship.
What I Do:
Full strip-downs and rebuilds
Powder coating and wet paint and traditional enamel for long lasting steel frames top off with Chroming if needed to.
Frame polishing and detailing
Period-correct or custom component sourcing. Wheel builds, bar tape, tyres, and more
Every bike gets the attention it deserves—because I know it’s more than just a bike. It’s your ride, your story, your freedom.
From Vintage Steel to Modern Carbon
My latest project is all about bridging eras. Back in 1976, Ellis Briggs built my hand-crafted Favori — Reynolds 531 steel, slim tubing, and timeless lines. That classic look has always inspired me.
Now, I’m reimagining it on a modern Cannondale SuperSix carbon frame. Why? Because it’s one of the few carbon frames with elegant, slim tubing that echoes the beauty of steel, without the oversized bulk you see on most modern bikes. The build will carry a heritage-inspired orange and silver repaint, mirroring the Favori, but finished with:
Full Ritchey silver finishing kit — stem, bars, wheels
Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed — modern precision shifting hidden inside a classic aesthetic
It’s a bike that looks vintage but rides with cutting-edge performance.
More to come keep watching.
