Comments on: A Trip to Rick’s Restorations (American Restoration) https://www.robohara.com/?p=5167 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:16:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: shinden58 https://www.robohara.com/?p=5167#comment-3598 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:16:22 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=5167#comment-3598 I am sorry I don’t care for the restorations that Rick does. Case in point, he and his team worked on a 1880 penny farthing bicycle or high wheel as some people call them. What started off a mostly original bicycle was canabilized beyond belief. They cut out the old spokes, most of which were still serviceable and installed all new spokes. The new spokes were installed backwards compromising the wheel integrity. Rick’s Restorations contacted the experts that do nothing but high wheel restorations and were told what needed to be done and how to do it. Instead Rick did what he wanted and butchered a once beautiful and restoreable bicycle. At the end of the day the value of the bike was reduced not increased by the work Rick did.

@Aardvark: Our tour guide told us that he had only been working there for two months. He didn’t mention the paint, and might not have known.
