About us
At Kovrlija & Co, we don’t just fix bikes; we preserve them. My journey in the cycle trade began over 13 years ago, but the standards I hold myself to are rooted in a much deeper tradition. While my background includes extensive technical training—including over 16 years of high-level mechanical work—my true passion lies in the soul of the bicycle: the hand-crafted frame. A Legacy of Craftsmanship Through exclusive trade partnerships with traditional steel frame builders and master painters, I am proud to offer my clients access to a 70-year heritage line. These connections allow us to provide authentic, period-correct restorations and bespoke steel builds that carry the DNA of cycling’s golden age. Whether it is the delicate art of traditional enamelling, precision chrome plating, or sourcing a rare vintage component, our network of specialists ensures that every project is handled with the respect it deserves. Why Choose Kovrlija & Co? Heritage Connections: Access to master frame builders and traditional paint shops that have been perfecting their craft for seven decades. Material Mastery: Expert handling of everything from Reynolds steel to modern high-performance Carbon Fibre. Boutique Attention: I personally oversee every build, from the first bolt to the final polish. Whether you are looking to restore a family heirloom to its former glory or want to commission a brand-new, custom-built steel machine, I am here to help you write the next chapter of your cycling story.

Rust Treatment: Full strip-down and neutralizing of surface oxidation before the new coat is applied. 2.

Restoration
Bicycle Restoration & Refinishing Services At Kovrlija & Co, a restoration isn't just a "clean and polish." It is a multi-stage engineering process that returns a bicycle to a "better-than-new" state. We bridge the gap between 70 years of traditional frame-building heritage and modern performance standards. 1. The Heritage Steel Restoration Best for: Vintage road bikes, family heirlooms, and classic touring frames. We work alongside master craftsmen with over 70 years of lineage in steel frame building to offer authentic, period-correct results. Full Strip-Down: Every bolt and bearing is removed. The frame is inspected for alignment and structural integrity. Paint & Finish: Options for traditional Stove Enamel (tough and classic) or high-quality Powder Coating. Brightwork: Specialized Chrome Plating for forks, stays, and lugs to achieve a mirror finish. Preservation: Internal "Frame Saver" anti-corrosion treatment to protect the steel for decades to come. 2. Performance Respray (Alloy & Carbon) Best for: Modern race bikes, mountain bikes, and refreshing tired carbon frames. Carbon and Alloy require a different touch. We focus on precision finishing that doesn't compromise the material's strength. Safe Preparation: Gentle removal of old paint/decals (no harsh chemicals on carbon). Custom Graphics: From "stealth" matte black to intricate multi-tone designs and custom branding. Safety Inspection: Every carbon frame undergoes a detailed surface inspection to check for hidden cracks before paint is applied. UV-Protective Clear Coat: A high-end automotive-grade finish that prevents paint fade and protects the fibers from sun damage. 3. The "Full Boutique" Rebuild Best for: Creating a modern machine with a classic soul. A bare frame is a blank canvas. We offer a full consultation to help you select a "Build Kit" that fits your riding style. Groupset Integration: Expert installation of the latest 12-speed electronic (Di2/AXS) or mechanical systems. Hand-Built Wheels: Hubs, spokes, and rims selected and tensioned by hand for maximum reliability. Finishing Kit: Careful selection of handlebars, stems, and saddles for the perfect "cockpit" feel. The Handover: A final "Ready to Ride" setup, including gear indexing and brake bedding-in. The Kovrlija & Co. Promise No Hidden Costs: We provide a detailed quote after the initial frame inspection. If we find an issue (like a stuck seatpost or hidden rust), we consult you before any work begins. Trade Connections: You benefit from our exclusive partnerships with the UK's finest traditional painters and chrome specialists. Mechanical Integrity: With 16+ years of mechanical experience, we ensure that while your bike looks like a work of art, it performs like a professional tool. How to start your project: Enquiry: Send us photos of your current bike or frame. Consultation: We discuss your vision, finish options, and budget. The Bench: Your frame is booked into our studio for its transformation
