Bicycle restoration and customization

Who restores old bicycles in Riga?

The MO.VE Riga workshop on Vagonu iela 21 restores old bicycles. We take the bicycle apart, restore the original parts, track down missing ones, then polish everything and coat it with a special compound. It is painstaking, slow work.

Can a bicycle be customized?

Yes. If you have specific wishes, the bicycle can be customized to fit your style and preferences. We give old bicycles a second life and keep their character.

How do I start restoring an old bicycle?

Explain what you want to preserve: original components, its appearance or a bicycle you can ride every day. Photographs of the whole bicycle and the areas needing attention are useful. The condition of the components and any missing parts affect the scope of the work.

How is restoration different from a regular service?

A service covers adjustment, lubrication, cleaning and work on the bicycle’s components. Restoration involves taking the bicycle apart and restoring its parts, with missing components sourced separately. Start by discussing what you want the restored bicycle to be used for.

How much does bicycle restoration cost?

The cost of each restoration is individual, and we usually charge by the hour.
