    Hi all,


    Looking at maybe buying a Van Nicholas on my next iteration of the BTW scheme, wondering if:

    • I'm mad
    • They're worth it

    Anyone have any experience of their bikes?

    No and maybe!

    If you want a long-term relationship with your bike and not to be constantly tempted by flashy eye-candy, Ti is for you. Compared to a lot of other frames, it should give you a more comfortable ride particularly over longer distances, hence its popularity with Audax cyclists. Other positives are the retro styling and low maintenance finish.

    Negatives would generally be a slight weight penalty vs carbon and price. However, if you shop around, you may find some bargains. Unfortunately Van Nicholas discontinued their entry-level Ventus after a couple of years as it was affecting sales of their more expensive models.
