Not really sure where to place this, as it doesn't really seem to belong to any of the forum categories (if café is wrong, I hope the admins will feel free to move it).
Anyway, I happened across this site via an ad on Google;
Specialbike
and thought it might be of interest given the discussion of bike recycling, and the number of bikes that get tipped whilst still having some useful life in them we had a little while ago.
I find specialbike interesting because of the way they position the restored bike as a premium object, "We build beautiful, one of a kind bikes" and can't recall any other bike reuse scheme doing so.
They have a flickr gallery of their restorations too, which is here.
