With the recent Spring rush around the Shop, we spend most of our time working on custom built bikes ordered by customers.  However, we still have some of our own projects in the works.

Here is what is coming down the pipeline at Renaissance Bicycles:

• 1962 Legnano Gran Premio — Complete repaint with a “modern” interpretation of the original paint scheme.  Very classic-esqe bike with leather, lots of chrome, and all new Shimano Ultegra components.
• 1983 Specialized Stumpjumper –  Rigid lugged steel MTB repainted with the original color scheme and decals.  Upfitted with modern SRAM mountain drivetrain and all FSA goodies.  Intended to be a 650b bike … but final assembly will make that decision.
• 1983 Specialized Allez — Great lugged steel road bike.  Repainted and styled ala Renaissance Bicycles; high gloss white with yellow accents.  Refurbished original [in]famous Shimano 105 Biopace drivetrain.
• Soma-fied Soma B-side build-up — A complete 650b Soma B-Side mountain bike with almost all of the components and accessories coming from Soma.
• 1970′s Atala City Bike — Just a clean-and-polish job for a simple and stylish city bike.  A perfect vintage town bike for the retro-aficionado.

And we have a few other projects waiting in the wings, but they are a little too far off the radar to warant comment at the moment.

So yes, we promise to update the website with these bikes as they come available.  We also have a few other bikes waiting in the “photo queue” that should make their debute in the next week or two.  But if we stay too busy with customer orders to devote our full attention to the projects listed above, we won’t complain.

Thanks again for keeping us busy.
