from 52 reviewsWonderful servis. There is no alternative how fix my older bike.
Supplied hard to find part. very helpful with information and organizing shipment
top verarbeitet, top Qualität und unterm Strich den Neukauf einer Gabel überflüssig gemacht
Alles Gut, vielen Dank!
Retro Bike Parts was a savior. Will definitely be buying from them again. Exactly what I needed to bring my Scott equalizer shock back to life on my 08 ransom 40.
Very good quality Im going to order another one for spare use.
Schnell und guter Service ,aber etwas hochpreisig .
Ein ganz großes Lob an Oli von Retro Bike Parts für die super Arbeit. Meine Cannondale Lefty Speed DLR2 von 2010 hatte ich schon fast abgeschrieben aber er hat sie tatsächlich wieder zum Laufen gebracht. Und nicht nur das, sie läuft jetzt besser als je zuvor, spricht feinfühlig an und der Lockout funktioniert auch wieder. Klar war das Ganze nicht wirklich billig aber wenn die Alternative ist, sich ein neues Fahrrad kaufen zu müssen... Die Kommunikation war auch sehr gut, es wurde jeder Schritt mit mir besprochen, der Kostenrahmen wurde eingehalten. Wenn man sich, so wie ich, kurz vor Beginn der Hauptsaison mit so etwas Speziellen meldet, muss man etwas Zeit einplanen aber das war mir vorher klar. Summa summarum: Service für ne alte Lefty macht nicht mehr jeder, die Jungs von Retro Bike Parts können es.
Teil genau was ich gesucht und sonst nirgends mehr gefunden habe. Aber 40 Euro für das Ventil und 7,50 Euro für Versand... Und dann kommts doch in einem Briefumschlag... Na ja. Versand zu teuer. Teil teuer. Aber mangels Alternativen. Aber schnell versendet wurde es.

Arrived on time,good comunication
Wunderbar,schnelle geliefert,Teile passen Bestens und schon funktioniert die gute GS 4 Air wieder wie sie soll
I'm glad I found the service center in Berlin. The maintenance and conversion from air suspension to elastomers was carried out to my complete satisfaction. Communication with Oliver Perleberg was also excellent. If I couldn't reach him immediately by phone, he called back promptly.

About us
Keeping classic suspension alive
Retro Bike Parts Germany is a Berlin-based specialist for rare mountain bike suspension parts, service kits and complete restorations of classic forks and rear shocks. Our team brings more than 30 years of hands-on suspension experience.
Founded in Berlin in 2020 by Oliver Perleberg, our shop combines a passion for the mountain bikes of the 90s and 2000s with the practical expertise of our Berlin workshop. Our goal is to keep these classics running, not simply preserve them as display pieces.

We buy up spare parts stock worldwide
To keep spare parts available for classic suspension, we buy up spare parts inventories and remaining stock around the world. This allows us to secure rare original parts that are no longer manufactured and keep them available for repairs and restorations.
Our range includes original parts, new old stock (NOS), selected replacement parts, seals, bushings, elastomers, service kits and accessories. We are particularly experienced with VOTEC suspension forks, Scott TC rear shocks and other rare or technically demanding MTB suspension systems.
More than maintenance: complete restoration
With decades-old suspension, a routine service is often not enough. We carry out complete restorations: every fork and shock is fully disassembled into all of its individual components. Each part is cleaned and inspected before the suspension is rebuilt from scratch by hand, replacing necessary wear parts with suitable replacements.

This thorough work explains the longer turnaround. The usual processing time is approximately 15 to 20 working days from receipt of the component and complete order information. Rare models or parts that need to be sourced can take longer. If additional work is needed, we discuss the costs with you before proceeding.
If you are unsure which part fits or whether your fork or shock can be restored, contact us before ordering. Model details, the year of manufacture, measurements and clear photos help us advise you.
