You can order your dream bike online from mail order specialist Van Nicholas. The "Tuareg" frame comes in a brushed finish, has the most and most beautiful details of this comparison group and sounds like a bargain at 1,189 euros. It is also available in 29 inch and as a customised frame (€ 298 surcharge). Van Nicholas also offers a lifetime guarantee. The test bike presented an unusual specification. Shimano "XTR" with "Dualcontrol" levers are rarely found, the White Brothers fork is considered a rarity. Unfortunately, it works worse than Rock Shox & Co. Subjectively and objectively, the bike offers the highest riding comfort, but also flex in the steering head. The riding position is good.
CONCLUSIONVery unusual, detailed frame. It is inexpensive, but also heavy.
