| Chinook September | 2011 Van Nicholas is a Dutch company that does titanium and nothing else. Sourcing its frames from Taiwan, its range is wide and includes belt-drive single-speeders, track bikes and everything in between.

De Chinook is een zeer klassieke fiets. Geen racer voor wie bling, bling rond wil rijden, wel voor de echte liefhebber die graag veel kilometers wil afleggen zonder door elkaar ‘gehusseld’ te worden...
