Our Story

Almost Oldschool is an independently run company owned and operated by Graham deGraaf out of London, Ontario, Canada. With a life long passion for anything on wheels, I’ve been building and customizing since I was a kid. I started this in January of 2019 while working on personal builds and not being able to find the handlebars I had in mind. That and most of what was close to what I wanted was expensive, with high currency exchanges or shipping costs from out of the country. I had built and welded plenty of things in the past, why not have a go at bending my own handlebars as well.

I soon realized I wasn’t the only one in the situation of not being able to find exactly what they wanted. After making plenty of handlebars for myself and friends I decided to start Almost Oldschool. My main goal was to offer high quality, hand made handlebars and sissy bars while adding new products along the way. For the past 4 years I have been doing this in my spare time while still working a day job as a welder, but as of summer 2023 I took the plunge to quit my day job and go full time with Almost Oldschool.

In the past few years I’ve been able to meet some awesome people and work on lots of rad custom jobs. I’m just getting started and have lots of exciting plans to offer more parts and services in the near future!
