Not your average bike shop

The Bent Handlebar specializes in transforming classic steel bicycles from the 1980’s and 1990’s into one-of-a-kind custom rides built for comfort, style, and everyday adventure.

Every bike starts with a carefully selected vintage frame from brands like Trek, Specialized, GT, Surly, Schwinn, and others. Each bike is completely inspected, serviced, and rebuilt using modern components to create something unique that you won’t find in a bike shop or big box store.

Why Vintage Steel?

Vintage steel frames offer a smooth, comfortable ride quality that modern bicycles can’t match. Combined with modern drivetrains, tires, and components, they create bicycles that are both practical and full of character.
