Look At This Beauty!

This special order from Van Nicholas is beautiful. It arrived as a 105 spec full build and we converted it to CX1 from Sram. Doesn't it look well :-) 

We all wanted one. So it's a good thing it's now gone to its new home and we can stop being temped by it. 

Amazon Cross bikes are available to order and can be custom specified. If you would like some more information on VN then please come in and see us. We always have a few examples in store and on display. 

Another Amazing Astraeus

I just wanted to share some pictures of another classy VN we built. 

Not very good pictures I'll admit but you will have to believe that these bikes are stunning. 

Titanium is the future..

Custom Van Nicholas Amazon

After a recent batch of Van Nicholas orders, I thought we could share this one. 

Custom spec'd as part of a pair, the gents Amazon is derailier geared with a drop bar and the ladies was Rohloff geared with a flat bar. 

Blue was the theme. 

Custom wheels, hand built by Kevin. It's been a busy week for wheel builds, 3 pairs of wheels and 2 individual re-rim jobs. 

Nice metallic bar tape from Fizik

More blue from Hope and Brooks

Sporting TRP Spyre brakes

Dual piston mechanical disc brakes for road with MTB versions coming soon. 

Custom build season has already started. Check back soon to check out a rather tidy Salsa build. 

Van Nicholas goodness

As you will know, we have been selling Van Nicholas bikes for some time now. They have a keen (see what I did there..) eye for detail and their bikes are look rather splendid. 

We have various models in stock at the moment; Amazon, Yukon and Ventus.

Even better they are great value for money and customisable. With all that to offer its important to come in store and see out resident Van Nic Guru, Kevin. 

So whether its custom geometry or custom spec, we can get it right!

We Like Titanium!

We have a lot of Van Nicholas frames and bikes sold through the shop and the finish on this Amazon model is better than ever.

They make great winter bikes due to their great road compliance, comfort and weather resistance. They are designed with different riding types in mind, there are touring and road racing bikes in their line up that helps the rider know in confidence that the bikes are well thought out machines. 

We love the options list. When you order a Van Nicholas from us you can have pretty much anything you want. We custom build bikes from the frame up or you can buy a specified packed from Holland. Its a great system and for another fee you can get the bike custom built to YOUR geometry. We have done a lot of bikes this way as it is sometimes cheaper to get the bike in titanium than steel these days.

If you want to come and have a look at the great build quality or to try our demo Rohloff Van Nic' (Details coming soon) then call or pop into John Atkins Cycles where we will be happy to show you the lovely bikes.
