Looking for mechanic/restorer to assemble Raphael Geminiani
I'm restoring my Dad's 1950's Raphael Geminiani. Frame has been powder coated. All parts and pieces cleaned, painted, ready for assembly. In Southern California. Looking for help with final re-assembly. Thx.

Geminiani Decals

and probably same age as the bike but I have some. |
Here's my old Raphael Geminiani. I had another one (1962) that I restored (paint etc) as well but sold.
Powder coating a frame isn't restoring so you know. I would have sprayed your bike properly to give it the correct restoration. You can still use that powder coating though to sand it down smooth and use it as a primer before painting it. I still have an original NOS rare head badge in my stash and some original varnish decals plus a great article in an old magazine. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ec1094220c.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...56a495c0e0.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...860475db28.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ce4eed3bc2.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...800bcbb938.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c7f335a26a.jpg |

I know someone who would do it but they live up here in Northern California so it'd require shipping, so not ideal. I'd imagine you could find somebody local.

The Bicycle Stand in Long Beach is a great option. Stopped by there in March on a bike trip with friends, they specialized in vintage bikes.
