Van Nicholas Blaze 105 Titanium Triathlon Bike
USAGE
The Van Nicholas Blaze is the product of long hours and late nights of extensive planning, design, and testing based on aerodynamics and optimal performance delivery. It’s for the multi-sport rider who wants the very best.
DESIGN
Utilising cold-worked, aerodynamically enhanced 3AL/2.5V Titanium tubing throughout, the Blaze’s ability to cut through the air is aided by a ‘radiused’ seat tube that ‘tucks in’ the rear wheel, fully concealed cables and an integrated aero seat post system. The Blaze is a rare machine: rocket-fast, multi-sport suitable, but still delivering Titanium’s trademark comfort.
MATERIAL
Full 3Al/2.5V Ti construction using aerospace-grade, cold-worked, tapered and size-specific multi-shaped tubing with CNC machined detailing. Available in 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60cm & Tailormade.
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 Aeromized Titanium Tubing
We use tear-drop shaped tubing optimised for cycling speeds, to minimise aerodynamic drag.
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.
Press Fit Bottom Bracket
Fewer parts ensure a lighter assembly than conventional cups. The larger diameter bottom bracket increases the stiffness significantly.
Integrated Headset
The advantages of a press-fit bottom bracket translated to the head tube, reducing weight and increasing stiffness.

3D Sculpted Dropouts
We designed our dropout from every angle to ensure maximum efficiency at one of the highest-strain contact points of the frame.
