They look really, really good at 1st glance....then when I looked closer....noticed little things like missing parts, wrong routing of cables, etc...

Some great looking bikes! It would be cool to see modern day tests of vintage bikes. How much have things really changed?

My old man has a few bikes from them. One was pretty much exactly as described and a good buy. Two others were not exactly as described... One thing I can say with confidence is that if you buy a bike from them make sure you take it apart and put it back together to verify all the bolts are there and tight, especially the important ones.

I don't like to drag anyone down,,,,,,,,but in this case,, STEAR THE F CLEAR, MAKE A QUICK U TURN. The owner talks a great game, takes your money before delivery and sent a bike that did not run, clutch did not work, broken throttle, steering bearings shot, brand new Sun Rims botched with bent spokesAngry , rattle can painted cylinder headHuh . I told him I DID NOT WANT new plastics but got them and was charged, I asked for Dunlop tires and received Michelin. Overall, a nightmare ordeal that is still not settled. Sick ECV reminds me of a beautiful woman from a distance, but when you meet, she can't walk, talk, smile or perform her duties, and takes your hard earned $$. Sorry for the rant, but that was my first and last experience with ECV.

I bought a great bike from them with zero issues. They always answered the phone, I received a video of the bike being started and running before the sale, bike delivered in perfect condition ahead of the promise date. Zero problems.

Don’t do it. Very dishonest group of people. Bought a 1984 Honda cr 500. Add said like new. Got bike a month after , no compression. Engine was sparkling outside Rusty inside. Had to rebuild literally the all engine. On top of 2995 dollars ( got$300 back after complaining) cost me a fortune just to make it run properly. They should be in jail , all of them
