Lifetime Frame Warranty
Titanium won’t rust, corrode or break down. We are extremely proud of our products. This is why we guarantee our frames for life
Crash Replacement Warranty
If a Van Nicholas Titanium frame is damaged in an accident not covered by our manufacturer warranty, we will provide a replacement frame for 50% of the current value.
Warranty Re-Certification
Consumers wanting to sell or purchase a used van Nicholas Titanium bicycle or frame can send it directly to our office for Re-Certification and the issue of a new manufacturer’s warranty.
Hand Brushed Finish
We think the best way to showcase our Titanium frames it is to hand brush them to bring out the natural brightness
Van Nicholas Seamless Optiformed Ti Tubing
To ensure a perfect bike fit, we automatically adjust the tubing for bigger frame sizes.
Engraved Head Tube Logo
We etch our classic logo directly onto the head tube, so everyone will know the bike you’re riding is a Van Nicholas.
Eccentric Bottom Bracket
This allows minor adjustments to be made to ensure correct chain tension on bikes where adjustments cannot be made in the rear section.
Internal Headset
By locating the bearings in the head tube there are fewer parts, lower weight and reduced maintenance.
CNC Machined Dropouts
Machined to perfection form one single plate. Built to cope with high stresses, with a sophisticated look.
Belt Drive Ready
Lighter, cleaner and quieter than a regular chain. The ideal choice for commuter and tourer alike.
Rohloff Gearing System
The award-winning 14-gear enclosed Rohloff hub offers smooth, almost unnoticeable shifting, even when stationary.
Fender Mounts
Allows for the fitting of fenders to enable safe, spray-free all-weather riding.
Rack Mounts
Provision for the attachment of pannier racks and increase comfortable load-carrying capabilities.
3rd Water Bottle Bosses
When your travels take you far from civilization, a third water bottle is a must.
Twentyniner Wheels
Big rocks, big roots? Bigger wheels keep you rolling over bigger obstacles.
