van nicholas driven goes titanium build 7-11 pics

[driven]

after building several bikes and upgrading them and then still not being happy by the result i emptied my stabble :roll:
friends of mine have told me since ages why don't you build up a quality
bike instead off keep on building bikes that just were not wat they should be so then i read this tread.

liked that build so i had to sell some stuff and find myself a titanium frame too but wich one?after days on the internet i finally thought about last years bike show when a brand called VAN NICHOLAS had a small stabble full off bikes at that show that i really liked,
and so i decided to buy a VAN NICHOLAS ZION

as you can see i allready bought some stuff at one off my favorite shops
http://www.bike2build.nl/who helped me a little bit with sorting out things

I had one of these and only got rid of a couple of weeks back. Nice bikes for a reasonable price. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[saltyman]

very nice.

been looking on the van nicholas website for some upgrades for my bike.

anyone used them for parts to the UK? are they ok for orders to the UK etc?

salty, i used Fatbirds to get parts for mine - a seatpost and bottle holder. They where great, even when i bent the seatpost it was replaced under warranty with no fuss.
