We applied a heavy dose of Nomad industrial strength elbow grease and it cleaned up pretty nice. Hercules was one of the largest british bike manufacturers but fell on hard times after WWII. They were bought out by Raleigh in 1961 and hercules bikes were raleigh's budget brand.

Another exciting Nomad project: We restored this 2000 BP Stealth time trial bike for our friend Aggie. We upgraded it to a complete Shimano Dura Ace groupset and added the classy spokes wheels. BP Stealth bikes were manufactured by the Taiwanese company Martec and feature a full monocoque carbon fiber frame.

Another exciting Nomad project: we restored this Ross BMX bike for Brian. He likes red.

Another exciting Nomad project: we built this BMX racer up for our young friend Wyatt. This is our first BMX build and it came out not too shabby. Im not sure the maker of the frame, but its pretty classy aluminum with a lot of fancy machining and welding. Note the left hand drive (chainring is on the left side)

1950 Claude Butler Olympic Sprint frame back from painter. Jack Trimble at Franklin frame did a fantastic job.

Today's exciting Nomad project: Melanie asked us to restore her 1975 Schwinn Continental. The Continental was Schwinn's top, high performance model; it weighed only 50 pounds. We noticed that the frame was way too big for Melanie so we employed the patented Nomad frame shrinker tool to reduce the size by 2 inches. We also applied a full 5 gallon pail of extra strength Nomad elbow grease to remove all the rust and grunge. Not too shabby.

Another exciting Nomad project: A not so old Cannondale Slice TT bike. Karim is a competitive Triathlete. He felt the original colors were a bit garish. So we disassembled it, painted it the New York Rainbow and reassembled with these sweet wheels

Another Exciting Nomad project: Aggie brought in her old Trek Y Foil road bike and asked us to refinish it and convert it to a commuter. The only colors she allows on a bike are red, black and white; We used all three here. She included some pretty classy bits - like the Hed tri-spoke wheelset and Metron crakset

New Nomad Finish: We built this Trek up for Sanjib back in 2016. It originally had a black oxide finish. After three years parked outdoors, that had turned into red oxide. Sanjib bought it back to us to re-blacken. But, we realized that the rust looked pretty damn cool. So we removed loose rust and applied an oil and wax finish. It looks not too shabby, no?
