Van Nicholas ‘Tailormade’ ti frames

Anyone any experience of the custom frames from VN? Any comments on quality/order process/communication etc?

I have 2 off the shelf ones and can recommend them for build quality, lovely piece of kit. Also you get piece of mind with the replacement warranty.

Thanks – are yours road or mtb? I’m waiting to see if they will do a frame with sliding dropouts.

Just been reading up on the warranty too – looks very good.

There’s a Zion Singlespeed – ah – it’s an EBB…..

aahh but in the pics on the VN site it appears to be with my pate hate – an EBB. They responded quickly to my first questions so customer service seems good.

Their standard Zion 29er looks a bargain though:

There is a Setavento Ti singlespeed with dropouts you want on Ebay.
Don’t know anything about them but worth a look? V brake only but so what…you want most braking at the front.

ta for the ‘heads up’. I’m after sliding dropouts so can run ss or gears though 🙁

Ah I see….You want Paragon sliders and a builder who uses them…think Paragon do Ti ones as well

Just get Rody at Groovy Cyles to make you a classic steel frame and forget Ti 😆

Have you got a Groovy? I’ve looked at his bars before. Waltworks is tempting but long wait list.http://www.waltworks.com/dev/index.php

Did someone mention Paragon Ti Sliders…

If I was in the market for a new frame I’d be going for a Wolhound myself.
You might have a bit of a wait though. 😥

any excuse!

Nice Singlespeedstu 😀
I havn’t got a Groovy (want one, or a Walt) but I do know of someone who had one for sale…might be still around.

interesting- too much ££ though – it would need a new paint job as well!!!
