Bike - Van Nicholas - Chinook (size 54)
Titanium bike. Rare bike. Size 54. I’ve never seen another Chinook on the Irish roads and always got compliments with the bike.
I still have the original Van Nicholas information booklet that came with the bike. It contains the lifetime warranty (for the frame) which will pass to the new owner.
Always stored indoors and cleaned regularly. Bike is in pristine condition.
The bike cost over 3k. Frame alone was 1400, wheels were 650, the seat post was 200 and so on. No expense spared when building it.
Bike weights approx. 9.8kg (this includes Shimano 105 pedals which weigh a tonne, raceblade mudguards (500g), stainless steel bottle cages x 2 (100g) and saddle (185g)). Would be very easy to turn this into an 8kg bike or possibly sub 8kg if desired. The frame is supposed to weigh 1.59kg.
Selling as seen but without the saddle. Can put a saddle on for a test ride or bring your own (once it doesn’t have carbon rails it will fit the seatpost clamp. (You can buy a holder for oval carbon rails on the Van Nicholas website for 9euro).
Bike only used four times since 2021.
