Important Changes at Groody Bros.
Dear Valued Customers,
After much consideration, being the single employee and owner of Groody Bros. Bicycle Restoration, I have decided to transition into semi-retirement. This change means that I will be focusing primarily on the core business competencies, media blasting and powder coating bicycle frames and forks. These are the services I am passionate about and have always been at the heart of the business.
What Does This Mean for You?
Assembly and Disassembly:
For all bicycle assembly and disassembly needs, I recommend reaching out to your local bike shop. They have the expertise and tools to ensure your bicycle is properly assembled and serviced.
Decal Application:
I will no longer be offering water slide decal application. However, we are open to considering other decal applications on a case-by-case basis.
Full Restorations:
Full restorations will now be limited and strictly considered on a case-by-case basis. While I love bringing old bicycles back to life, these projects require significant time and energy, which I need to manage more efficiently.
Current Projects:
Rest assured, all current projects that are already in-house and initiated will be completed as agreed. Your trust and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we are committed to delivering the quality service you expect.
I understand that these changes may raise questions or concerns. Please know that I am here to address any inquiries you may have and assist you through this transition.
I appreciate your understanding and continued support as I begin this new chapter. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in Groody Bros. Bicycle Restoration over the years and look forward to serving you in this new capacity.
Warm regards,
Mark Rainey

A little Groody Bros. history...
Russell Steel, A Family Business
Those who have done business with us in the last 15 years or so, may know that we started as a venture project of two brothers, David and Mark Rainey. Operating out of the family business, Russell Steel in Kansas City, KS, brothers David and Mark adapted an informal business name their ever-industrious father, Perry, had used for his own side hustle. "Groody" in our name is pronounced "Grow-dee" or like "grody" with one "o." Under this banner, these three men have taken on some very messy and unpleasant jobs! It's become a family legacy.
In 2009, Mark and David joined their experiences as cyclists and knowledge of bicycle mechanics with the resources available to them through Russell Steel. Upon completion of some of their own bicycle refinishing projects, word quickly spread and business just found them. It hasn't let up yet. Completing over 1,000 bicycles and maintaining high standards is what gives us an edge over your standard powder coat business. Our repeat-client list is growing, and we are proud to serve a wide range of clientele and bicycle tastes.
In January 2020, Russell Steel closed its doors. Mark moved Groody Bros. to Topeka, KS. David started pursuing a lifelong ambition to become a professional photographer. See his new website here: https://www.photorainey.com/.
