The Resource Revival legacy
Resource Revival met ReGeared, and now the two are one. Riders, event promoters and the coolest of consumers know the history. Ride on, and read below.
Bike parts are too good to bury.
In 1991, Graham Bergh was riding to his recycling job in Portland, Oregon when he got a flat. Pulling out the tube, he wondered where all the thrown-away bike parts actually end up. He started dumpster diving and tinkering with ideas in his spare time, and in 1994, with a push from friends, launched Resource Revival.
A drivetrain wears out, but it doesn't wear up. The steel is still beautiful and the teeth still catch the light, so retired chains and gears became bottle openers, coasters, clocks and gifts, objects people actually kept.
Recycled, not imported.
Graham and a small team of makers, all committed to recycling, quality and customer service, collected tons of parts a year and turned them into awards, keychains, bottle openers and other genuinely fun products. Their customers ran from mom-and-pop gift shops to Fortune 500 companies, all after durable goods made from real recycled material instead of imported junk.
For years the two ran alongside each other, until ReGeared brought Resource Revival onboard in 2021 and merged the catalogs. The openers, coasters and keychains live on right beside the medals and trophies, same reclaimed parts, same promise that nothing ships until you've approved a proof. If you bought from Resource Revival over the years: welcome back.
