Renaissance Bicycles -- Vintage and Modern Lugged Steel Bicycles

Welcome to Renaissance Bicycles

Renaissance Bicycles has officially closed the Shop doors as of December 31st, 2010. We are extremely appreciative to all of our supporters and suppliers who made our little adventure possible.  We hope they can carry on the spirit of “renaissancing” and continue to appreciate the virtues of well crafted steel bikes.

For the immediate future, the RB website will function as an archive of the work we produced between 2008 and 2010.  The left sidebar provides navigation for reading our blogs and viewing the bicycles and framesets in our photo gallery.

Again, thanks and best wishes to all in 2011 and beyond!

– Bryan, Kyndra, Grayson, and Carina


Just for posterity, here is what Renaissance Bicycles was all about:

Renaissance Bicycles delivers unique, vintage, and custom bicycles to the people with a passion for beautiful bicycles. Our specialty is a “renaissanced bicycle” — an individual creation that melds the best of yesterday’s frame building craftsmanship with today’s high quality components.

For the visual learner:

The Renaissance Formula

We build and sell beautiful bicycles that are meant to be enjoyed. We don’t focus on the latest greatest most carbon-acious bikes … we promote the sublime pleasure of a well-crafted frame that will outlast our own cycling ambitions.

Renaissance Bicycles also offers the unique service of complete restomod bicycle upgrades.  If you need a new plan for that old bike, then you have found the right place.  We use our experience and network of resources to revitalize your vintage bike from the ground up.  Just contact us to start the collaboration.

And it is no surprise that we sell high quality frames and complete bikes:

  • Timeless lugged steel craftsmanship is the hallmark of Rivendell Bicycle Works.
  • For quality and style at an affordable price, we carry Soma Fabrications.
  • And representing a nod the classic aesthetic, we proudly sell components and framesets from Velo Orange.
