| Mistral July | 2011 Om een fiets tot op de lasnaad toe te ervaren, moet je uitzonderlijke
omstandigheden opzoeken. Om die reden trok Wieler Revue gewapend met een
Van Nicholas Mistral naar het grootste randevenement van de Tour de
France: L'Etape du Tour.

Hand-Built Titanium is back and at an affordable price. The Dutch-based Van Nicholas company is out to bring back a bit of titanium frame allure. Every Van Nicholas is hand-built from aerospace-grade titanium, with a price tag designed to give carbon a run for its money

Não é todos os dias que, na altura da compra, temos oportunidade de colocar uma bike de titânio
lado-a-lado com algumas rivais em alumínio com preços e equipamento relativamente semelhantes.
A Mistral é a porta de entrada no requintado mundo do titânio sem ser preciso pertencermos
à aristocracia.

With the Van Nicholas you have to ask (appalling Dutch stereotype alert!), “Were they smoking something interesting when they priced the bike up?” It almost seems far too good to be true. The bike’s fine performance in all of the key areas – handling, vibration dampening, versatility, to name but three – you’d expect, but the bike certainly wins points for being cheaper than you’d think.

Van Nicholas, purveyors of very lovely Ti bikes who have sent us details of two of their range highlights for next year – a completely new bike, the Mistral designed very much with the British sportive market in mind; and a complete re-working of an older big-mile favourite, the Zephyr.
