I need to get one or two of these I think. That Helius AFR looks like you could drop a bomb on it and pick it up out of the crater without a scratch on it

2008 Helius FR
Posted 1 year ago # -
geetee1972 that's a nice looking rig. Most of the other full sus nicolai's are a bit gate-eque.
Suspect my life won't be complete without a bmxtb though - bolt through reba's, 819/pro2, single ring w/srs+, other shiny things aaaaaagh its gonna be sexy. However had a sneaky peek on the site to see what the frame would be:
Frame £850
12mm (+90)? yes please
maxle (+45)? also yes please
ISCG (+90)? mmhmm
1.5HT (+100) yupTotal cost £1175!!!! for a sodding HT frame! That's assuming I manage to avoid the allure of custom geo (+300)...

It will be worth it, every single penny.

My AFR frame (photo courtesy of my supplier....)To be built with CCDB, probably Totem, Hammerschmidt....
And here is my Helius CC. Currently running with a Float 140.
Also have an Argon FR, and have a Helius AC on order (will be replacing the CC). Great bikes. Get over to the MTBR Nicolai forum - plenty of pics over there.

@Kenneth
Yeah that's exactly what I wanted to avoid; I wanted something that would be low slung and sleek and allow me to drop the saddle right out of the way when using it for DH so I went with the custom seat tube length.

@auricgoldfinger
You planning on selling the CC then?
Posted 1 year ago # -
@ auric- that shock looks a bit harsh
Posted 1 year ago # -
20thebear - I am planning on selling the CC (frame), when my AC frame turns up.
Ambrose - yes the current AFR shock there is a bit harsh, not much travel! Am sure the CCDB will be an improvment over that one

god, thats a heap load of ugly bikes!

Us Nicolai riders consider function, build quality, custom options, back up etc....to come before aesthetic qualities. And of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Care to post up a pic of your bike so we can take a view on it's functional and aesthetic merits?
Posted 1 year ago # -
you may think it funny, but i dont actually have any pictures of any of my bikes.
i like the functionality of the nicolais and i can appreciate why.Posted 1 year ago # -
They are very good bikes, but I can understand why people are put off them. A bit industrial for sure.
Posted 1 year ago # -
ugly perhaps.
beautifully engineered and finished - oh yes.
quality certainly costs and quality remains long after the cost has been forgotten 
Posted 1 year ago # -
I like them. I think they look purposeful and robust.
And I ride a Knolly.Posted 1 year ago # -
Bobbyspangles, your mum's not exactly a looker but I still rode her
No seriously, no offence meant and non taken about the aesthetics of Nics. They aren't everyone's cup of tea and they aren't cheap. Consequently you don't see many around and that's part of the appeal.
