Our Story
Preserving cycling heritage through meticulous restoration and curation of vintage bicycles.
Our Beginning
Antique Cycle BG was founded in 2020 by a group of passionate cyclists and vintage bicycle enthusiasts in Sofia, Bulgaria. What started as a hobby and a shared love for classic bicycles quickly grew into a specialized workshop dedicated to preserving cycling heritage.
Our founders, with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, design, and art restoration, combined their expertise to develop restoration techniques that honor the craftsmanship and aesthetics of vintage bicycles while ensuring they can be ridden and enjoyed.
Our Approach
We believe that each vintage bicycle tells a story of craftsmanship, design, and the era it comes from. Our restoration philosophy is centered around preserving this heritage while bringing these mechanical works of art back to functional life.
Every bicycle that passes through our workshop undergoes a meticulous restoration process. We research the bicycle's history, source period-correct components, and use traditional techniques alongside modern precision to ensure both authenticity and reliability.
Our Values
At the core of everything we do are the values that guide our work and relationships.
Authenticity
We are committed to historical accuracy and authenticity in our restorations, using period-correct components and techniques whenever possible.
Craftsmanship
We honor the craftsmanship of the original bicycle makers by applying the same level of care, attention to detail, and pride in our restoration work.

By restoring and giving new life to vintage bicycles, we contribute to sustainable consumption and preserve these mechanical works of art for future generations.
