The Aeolus (seen here on the Galibier) was so responsive with great handling, it made light work of the climbs and descents (and avoiding other riders) on La Marmotte and La Ventoux sportives. I have now got an Astraeus and looking forward to a new season of sportives.

I have double the love than most for Van Nicholas as I have two of these beauties. I loved my Euros so much I had to get the more compact Zephyr as well. I can now ride Van Nicholas all year round. Can you be luckier than riding quality build titanium as your winter bike, a pair of quick fit mudguards and a frame that’s rust proof! I’m the envy of the club on winter runs. Loads of my mates are falling for them now and getting their own VN

We were down in Switzerland this past Sunday watching the tour and we camped along the side of the road on near the top of the Cat 2 climb (less than 1 km from the top banner). After waking up and climbing the mountain that morning, we hung our bikes up on the pop up. I must have had about 140-150 people ask me questions about my bike between 10 am and 4 pm. And of course I gave them your information. I wish I would have had business cards. What a nice riding machine. I can’t wait to race it.

Since 1 year I'm riding my ZION now and love it, finally i found the perfect bike for my numerous 24 hour races. After 4000Km it still looks like brand new and it withstands hard crashes much better then i do ;o) Titanium is just the best material for a hardtail and lasts forever and I’m maybe the only 1 yet in Luxembourg who owns a ZION. like I use to say: Every banana rides a carbonbike by now, so be different, because only dead fish swim with the flow!!

I brought the frame by Mail order from Fat Birds Don't Fly (www.fatbirds.co.uk) @ Hunstanton and then built this up with full XTR and Hope kit. After riding a 6 inch full suspension bike for a few years and getting left behind on every climbs by my mates, it's time to fight back with a light weight hardtail! The Mamtor doesn't disappoint. It climbs like a mountain goat and, because of the sorted geometry, it descends very well too. Now I have no more excuses for going slow - unfortunately...

On my Van Nicholas Chinook I'm the luckiest man alive. What a frame. It's stiff and yet strikes every bump in the road. It looks great, especially the combo of titanium and the black wheels and components. My sheep turned blue of jealousy when he saw it. Many thanks to Van Nicholas for al the speed, sweet, adrenaline, comfort, kicks and fun this bike brings.
P. Berkers
Euros
I've ridden everything from old 531 steel, to the TVT Carbon. This VN Euros is the best bike yet, and arguably the finest bike I have ever ridden. Perfectly balanced, smooth, light and responsive, stiff where it matters (bottom bracket), but absorbs minor road bumps very nicely - much more comfy than Aluminum, and not as spongy as Carbon. I absolutely love it. It makes me want to get out and just ride. Especially in the hills where it climbs well, and descends even better. I hope it lasts forever.

all that is said about Ti frames is true -- the euros is so much smoother and more comfortable than the steel bike. Even with narrower tyres and a radially-laced front wheel the Euros is really comfortable. The quality of the workmanship is also very high. So the design was right, the material was right, the workmanship was right, the price was right, and most importantly the ride _is_ right -- perfect!

Tittanium is fantastic, better than I had hoped. The chinook frame is equally at home climbing, descending or on the flat. It handles everything and anything without causing the aches and pains my previous cro-mo frame used to give after a long ride.I only wish I'd bought a Van Nicholas earlier.
