Picked this up on Friday having sold my Mojo SL and swapped the bulk of the build across.
2011 Helius CC maxle rear Fire dept red / Ano rear
Very nearly purchased the Mojo HD but no regrets. Big thanks to Neil @ Moonglu for good service and a good deal.

The custom anodized Hope's look as good as I had hoped.
Full build over on MTBR Nicolai forum for anybody interested.
Very nice - enjoy!
Yea just need some time to ride now !
Same here with my new ride! Never enough time!
Looks fast 8)
Enjoy it
You bugger, that looks lovely. Is that an Easton EC90 seatpost?
I'm currently at home with a cast on my leg for a fully ruptured Achilles but that's brightened up my day ... and reminded me that I can't go out for a ride at the same time 😥
I rode a mates CC not long back and intend to sort a build out later in the year.
Great bike.
Tis a thing of great beauty! Had my CC round Kirroughtree yesterday - just love that bike - enjoy it!
Yes it's a EC90 post came across from the Mojo. Things noticed allready it's a very quiet bike somehow even compared to carbon frames ive had before. And it rides lighter than it is very pleased with it.
Cool build.
It's turning into a CC forum the number of them on here recently. For good reason though - awesome bikes.
Buck Woods..?
Yep Buck Woods
I'm not usually a fan of how Nicolais look, but there's something very right about yours.
I think you've got the red/black balance and detailing spot-on. Looks nice and understated.
Looking good, saw it on the Nicolai forum last night.
I reckon we should have a Nicolai Riders meeting one day this summer
Shredder that is very well put together. Congrats.

Neenja has a point. We have Candodavid and Ahsat as new memebers also, both with CCs.
Out of interest, Shredder, what swayed you towards the CC as opposed to the AC?
I reckon we should have a Nicolai Riders meeting one day this summer
Something we've been trying to organise now on the MTBR forum for quite a while but we've never managed to agree on a location.
Simon why don't you step in here and make it happen?
Yes a Nicolai forum ride would be good , reasoning behind the CC over an AC. Very nearly went for an AC as I thought that was what I wanted as I was about to buy a Mojo HD . Then thought about the riding I do and liked the adjustability of the travel so perfect in short travel for local rides, and then open it up for bigger days away Lakes etc. Then saw a thread on MTBR discussing the change in geometry between the CC and the AC the CC seemed the more flexible frame. And I have no fears over its strength as you'll know built like a tank and more than capable of riding anything in the UK.
Infact I think they are a pretty good UK bike full stop full length outers shock out of the way of crap etc.
Shredder, very nice bike indeed.
What you running those rev's at? Look quite long for the CC. Just wondering if there are any restrictions on the CC?
Will mainly use the bike at 116 & 129 mm at the rear and run the Revs at 120 up to the warranted 140 mm so will have some un-used travel .
looks like a 'Neil bike' and with the new Moonglu Hope brakes....I just missed them by a few weeks!
Nice
out of interest, does the rear tyre clearance still suck like the old ones did? i.e. can't put anything bigger than a 2.1 on the rear
Dave I got the brakes anodized my self just supplied Neil with all the parts . Tyre clearance wise I believe they have improved the clearance they are 2.25 _Nics on flow rims so they sit nice and wide no where near to being close, could go bigger easily
CP - the tyre clearance is much better, seat stays are also alot chunkier about 5mm bigger across the flat than the previous incarnation.
I reckon we get round to organising one ourselves, and as there seems to be a good spread around the country of owners - how about a central'ish or Welsh location?
They are certainly bomb proof designs, the CC can handle 4 foot drops with ease - even on XC jheyboy Stans 355's 😀 😆
Shredder - the bike rides pretty nicely at 140mm too, although my Marzocchi 44's are a lot shorter A2C than the Revs - around 20mm I think at 507mm A2C - shorter than my older 130mm Rev Dual air 426's 😯
I'm near to Swansea/ Carmarthen area. How about a Beacons based natural (i.e. not trail centre) ride?
Nicolai's only? or are other brands allowed? I don't want to be classed as a bigot/ elitist/ discriminatory etc 🙂
It should be a Nicolai meet definitely 8) I'm perfectly happy to be classed as an elitist, discriminatory bigot 😆
It would be along the lines of the 'Yeti Tribe Meet'.
I'd be up for a elitist, discriminatory Nicolai meet.
Doubt I'd go if it was in S Wales given I'm in the North East of England.
glentress - perfect place for all that travel, LOL 🙂
especially Helius AM's......
troll complete.... 😆
Definitely an elitist meet, none of this American stuff is allowed 😆
As I said before some where central, or maybe North Wales - South Wales is too far away for most I reckon.
How's about Gisburn or something like that, pretty central for England really - it'd be good to go somewhere with a cafe etc for pre/post ride elitist Germanic babblings 8)
Sounds good im in West Yorkshire and by the sounds of it some where central might work for all ?
Gisburn sounds good.
lovely looking bike, but isn't it a bit tank like ofter a mojo sl?
No doesn't feel or ride tank like at all . And I found myself steadily giving the Mojo a burlier build as time went on, hence looking at the Mojo HD
Fair enough, horses for courses etc
Would also be on for a Nicolai meet - keep the details posted as/when/if it comes together.
I shall havea a think next week
