In addition to fabricating beautiful handmade bicycle frames, Bantam Bicycle Works is happy to help you with all of your frame repair, restoration, and modification needs. Whether you want to add a gaggle of braze-ons to your old steel frame to make it more utilitarian, need to replace that cracked top tube on your vintage Italian racing bike, or add S&S couplers, we are here for you.

Please read this first:

Prices do not reflect cost of repainting your frame. We are happy to facilitate repainting for you, but there will be an additional charge. There will be an additional charge for removing/reinstalling components. We are only able to do work on steel bicycle frames / forks. We cannot perform work upon frames or forks that have been chromed. Unless you provide us with a bare frame there will be a charge for paint stripping. And regardless of what kind of work you need done, if it involves applying heat to the frame or fork you will need to have it realigned afterward at an additional charge.
