Why We Love It:

This Van Nicholas Custom Titanium bike is a true masterpiece of engineering—built for speed, comfort, and all-day endurance. Its lightweight, corrosion-resistant titanium frame offers an incredibly smooth and responsive ride, perfect for long hours in the saddle. Designed with rim brakes and an upgraded Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed groupset, it delivers crisp shifting, reliable performance, and easy serviceability—ideal for cyclists who value a low-maintenance setup without compromising performance.
With timeless looks and unmatched durability, this is the kind of bike you’ll keep forever.
Handcrafted by Van Nicholas, a Dutch brand renowned for its commitment to precision and purity in titanium bike building, this frame reflects the company’s belief that “nothing rides like titanium.” Every detail has been engineered to offer lasting performance, effortless comfort, and a ride feel that sets it apart.
The ride quality of this Van Nicholas rivals some of the most iconic endurance road bikes on the market—offering the buttery-smooth comfort you’d expect from the Specialized Roubaix, Trek Domane, or Cannondale Synapse. As a titanium build, it stands shoulder to shoulder with legendary custom frames like the Moots Vamoots, Seven Axiom, and Litespeed Arenberg, delivering that signature blend of lively stiffness and road-smoothing compliance that only titanium can provide.
Even if you’re not actively looking for a new bike, don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a premium titanium road bike—with a fresh 11-speed drivetrain and exceptional value.

Bike History:

This bike was previously part of the premium rental fleet at Backroads, an adventure travel company known for maintaining their bikes to the highest standard. Van Nicholas and Backroads worked closely together to develop a custom titanium platform with rim brakes, chosen for its ride quality, durability, and service-friendly design—ideal for thousands of miles in varying conditions. Now equipped with a brand new Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed mechanical groupset, this bike blends modern shifting performance with proven frame longevity.
