Van Nicholas Zion Part 2

Now ready for its forthcoming Himalayan foothills adventure is this custom Van Nicolas, shown here on a test ride today. The build process saw experienced mountain tourist Ivan chose the specifications – to fit to his dream Van Nicolas titanium frame & Chris King wheelset – while I did the rest.  It’s dripping with bling but the bike is also 100% functional in its components choices, giving the bike comfort, sharp handling, a good strength to weight ratio, fantastic braking power and an extra wide gear ratio range.
