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.
3D Sculpted Dropout
We designed our dropout from every angle to ensure maximum efficiency at one of the highest-strain contact points of the frame.
Engraved Head Tube Logo
We etch our classic logo directly onto the head tube, so your grandchildren will know the frame you pass down to them is a Van Nicholas.
Brushed Finish Sculpted by hand
We think the best way to showcase our Titanium frames is to hand brush them to bring out the natural brightness.
