Van Nicholas Bikes

Van Nicholas take the process of design, material selection and fabrication very seriously, creating the best product possible for the intended application: making bikes go fast. Here are just a few of the reasons why Van Nicholas frames are leading the industry in innovation and craftsmanship.

Titanium's unique properties make it an excellent material for bicycle frame construction. Its high strength, low density, low modulus, excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance deliver a skeleton that is not only extremely strong and durable, but also incredibly lightweight.

Similar to steel, Titanium has an in-built flexibility, only it is more pronounced. Therefore it is ever so slightly 'springy', which means it can absorb road vibration before it reaches the rider.

Unlike aluminium or carbon framesets, Titanium won't 'snap' in an accident. This is because, like steel, it 'gives' a little. (In fact, Titanium is even more forgiving than steel, which is why its ride quality is so renowned.) Also, like steel, it is incredibly strong. But it is lighter. And it does not rust. Ever. This is one of the reasons why every Van Nicholas frame is guaranteed for the lifetime of its owner.
