Damn are you guys serious??!! I follow them on Instagram and it "Looks" like they do really nice work, but i guess not. What a shame. And they literally have a shop full of Broncos to restore.

Most "Bronco Restorers" have the same story, just after the money and care nothing about quality. NicksTrix is one exception and there are a few more, but most of them I wouldn't let restore a bicycle for me.

I have personally been through their shop and was very very impressed with their builds! I do ask any guy posting run away or stay away have you seen their builds personally if not how can you make any comments! That's the problem with these forums guys speak and have no foundation for their comments! I have personally seen their builds and have walked their shop and was very impressed with their process! Just like the last guys comments I follow them on Instagram and what you see on their is exactly what you see in the shop. If you still have doubt look at their In Progress page it shows you the build process from A-B!

But "we" do not know if "you" know what you're looking at.
No offense Sir.

But they do have a bad rep.

Maybe they are trying to turn it around....

This is true. No offense meant here either. What's sad is, when they first popped up out of nowhere (which happens a lot, I might add) I saw a couple of their builds and they were actually quite nice. Why things went bad I don't know.

Believe a guy that is educated on his opinion! I have been there have you? I know they went to Super Celebration and plenty of people from this forum saw their work! Have you seen anything negative from someone that have seen their builds at Super Celebration? I might not have a lot of posts but I have been apart of this group for 3 years and I cant stand to sit there and watch people make unfounded comments!

I have not seen their shop or their builds. But I have seen a lot of negative stories about their builds.
The vehicle is what people buy, the smoke and mirrors of taking a shop tour is not relevant.

I do want to point out I have seen Nicks builds over the Internet and they are great looking builds as well! I have went to his site several times for ideas! I have just been to Velocity's facility and I was truly impressed and I have called them for advice and have always been treated well!

Quick question: Have all their builds been to SC?

Not trying to argue, but there is always something behind more than one instance of negativity.

I know nothing of them but would refrain from any slander that may affect someone's livelihood unless you have first hand evidence as that would be libelous..

I would like to retract my comments . I have not seen their shop or their builds in person just online. But I have seen a lot of negative stories about their builds. Someone on here bought a Bronco (can't find thread) But I remember they did not do a good job a lot of problems with it.

I follow them, not my style of builds, but look high end. I would love to see one in person.

I've read about all the negativity with these guys. Sure there is something to that. But, I'll also say that the 2 builds they had at the Super Celebration in 2016 looks as good if not better than the Nickstrix build sitting right beside it. Im not taking anything away from Nick. He does great work it appears and seems to be a great guy. Just stating what I saw. Ive never heard anything bad about Nick. Which I think says alot about him and his work

I saw them at Super Celebration, and did not think the builds were worth the price they were charging...

In addition to Nick's Trix, I have also seen some great quality builds from Tom at Lick Creek Restoration, and Justin Wilburn at Wilburns Custom. (I am sure there are others I am forgetting, this is just off the top of my head.)
