Blurring the line between vintage and modern.
Retro Cycle Labs was founded on a simple idea: great bikes don’t expire.
Many vintage and early-carbon frames still offer exceptional geometry and ride feel. Instead of letting them fade into storage or neglect, we rebuild them with modern components and precise assembly standards to create bikes that are both distinctive and fully rideable.
Each RCL build is stripped down, inspected, refreshed, and rebuilt with carefully selected contemporary parts. The result is a cohesive restomod — not a random parts swap.
Retro Cycle Labs builds limited-run restomod road bikes by combining curated vintage frames with modern performance components.
Each build is one-of-one, professionally assembled, and ready to be ridden — not displayed.
Designed in California. Tested in the mountains of Southern California.
Curated Foundations
We start with carefully selected vintage and early-modern frames known for their geometry, character, and ride quality.
Modern Performance
Wireless shifting, contemporary components, refreshed drivetrains, and precision assembly bring each frame into the present.
Limited Production
We release a small number of builds at a time. No mass production, no repeats, each bike is one-of-one.
