New retro road bike

[manchesterBiker]

I'm a newbie on here. Is there any company (preferably in the UK) that produces new road bikes with a retro look, or anyone that reconditions old racers ? I'm finding it hard and I'm a bit unsure about buying one straight of Ebay.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

Loads of people still making classic steel bikes:

If you don't have the cash for custom try the likes of a Genesis http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/

Or if you want a refurb classic bike, try http://www.proudtorideclassic.co.uk/

Planet X over there offer the new steel Guerciotti record framesets http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FRG ... d_frameset

There is a shop in Melboune Australia http://www.fyxomatosis.com/ that will take the money of the well heeled to minimise the bike building effort of Retro riders , I would guarantee the same thing exists in the UK

Condor and Dawes have some nice retro machines in their ranges.

There's also the steel 'Holdsworth Team' bike in the classic Orange and Blue that (modern!) Claud Butler are marketing.

Traitor cycles. A U.S firm. I ride the Exile and folk in the local club keep on thinking its a old frame. It's a lugged steel road frame and I bought last year. I have one in the shop hanging on the wall. All they make are steel frames

You could always round up a few likley ebay candidates and post the links on here, I am sure people would be more than happy to help you pick how best to spend your money

There are plenty of lovely used roadbikes for sale on here if you don't mind a little wear and the odd scratch.

I deal with quite a few bikes myself, if you give me your requirements I can see if I can source you a nice used bike and I'll give it a full service and set up before sending it to you.

See my website www.stallioncycles.co.uk for more information/ samples of bikes that I have dealt with.
