Google or Facebook "RLB Cycleworks" to see our shop and the products/services we offer! A question we are asked often. How do you offer so many nice refurbished bike for such low prices? I run a small, home-based vintage bicycle restoration shop out of my house in the North Suburbs of Chicago, IL. A home-based shop means low overhead, no storefront to pay for and no payroll.
I have over 20 years experience fixing and restoring vintage road bikes and this is my passion. I'm very selective when I choose bikes to restore for resale.Only solid, high-quality bikes (good restoration candidates) make it through my shop. You will be impressed with the attention to detail that goes into every bike I offer for sale. This is a museum-quality 1982 Pro-Miyata professional racing road bike which was painstakingly and FULLY restored by a reknowned vintage bicycle specialist in the North Suburbs.
This is Miyata's pro-level racing bike with build quality which parallels 3Rensho and other premium Japanese bike manufacturers from its time. Completely re-done with gleaming new bright blue metallic paint (a slightly darker and more vibrant hue than factory-spec) and every nut and bolt polished and rebuilt prior to reassembly. Masterfully handcrafted "Aero" butted chromoly steel frame with top-tier Suntour components throughout. Frame build date of "J" indicating late 1981 year. Weighs just under 23 lbs as shown. This is a stunning ride and is sure to grab everyone's attention at the club rides. With the restoration, the following new consumables were added.
