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
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.
Internal Headset
By locating the bearings in the head tube there are fewer parts, lower weight and reduced maintenance.

Machined to perfection form one single plate. Built to cope with high stresses, with a sophisticated look.

Frame optimised for a shorter travel fork, from 80 to 100 mm, designed for regular trail and single-track riding.
