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.

Aerodynamic Frame Tubing.


We use tear-drop shaped tubing, like an aeroplane’s wing, to make our bikes as aerodynamic as possible.

Internal Cable Routing


Internal cable routing helps to reduce drag and keeps the lines of our frames simple, elegant and clean.
