[tu plang]

[Wattsy]

[Mugger]

Very hawt, nice colour, hmm.... i still like the last though..

[petri]

[naz]

ooowww....

sorry dude...dont worry ill be showing u it soon enough...

[RaID]

Nicolai frames never CEASE to amaze me
The workmanship is always superb and damn sexy

[Mahoney_007]

WOW!

Thats pretty hot mate. Whats the geo like? Those stays look super short even at the longest setting.

Cant wait to see it built up.

PS Your sticker is on back to front :p

[bazza]

wholey moley. thats freakin flash. going to break this one as well :P.

[johnny]

Yeah boyyee.

[tu plang]

Nicolai frames never seem to amaze me
The workmanship is always superb and damn sexy

im confused :confused: u mean never cease, right. in which case i agree, just looking at it again its amazing. they really have a special finish, no other raw finish i've seen looks near as good.

[scblack]

I'll be one of the crowd, and say I love it too.

Wanna swap for a large STPZero frame?........seriously.........

[JasO]

Looks pretty wicked mate. Do you have any info on the frame? and RRP?

[RaID]

yes thats what i meant, damn brain not working properly

[naz]

Looks pretty wicked mate. Do you have any info on the frame? and RRP?

1650: with vertical dropouts
1900 with the horiz adjustable dropouts

small (mine) runs a 21TT, 69 ha with pikes set at 80mm, the frame in over all length from rear axle (15.7", slot ranges from 15.5 to about 16") up to centre of HT, is shorter than the last, but the slightly slacker ha pushes the front wheel away enough to barspin n x-up easily even with 180mm cranks, every orifice is faced or reamed, even the disc tabs, so settin it up is a breeze, not to mention the disc mount is always fixed DONE

[MUGEN]

Fuck i want those drop outs. Get the complete build pics NOW!

[Numinos]

wow! that frame is soo sick. Are you keeping the same specs as your last bike?

[naz]

Fuck i want those drop outs. Get the complete build pics NOW!

the bike is built and rideable.

pics wont be up till later in the week.

[.:Easily:.]

those welds looks awesome

looks really nice

[bigsteve]

Talk about floorless

Good stuff

[McBain]

Not convinced by the closed gusset at the downtube/headtube, but other than that very nice, Mr Nazaroth.

[smiddy]

looks so good ....

[hubbie]

sometimes i just with the STP'd snap! :D just kidding. nice frame Alex

[naz]

had my first ride this arvo. sweet, alu is takin a while to get used to the stiffness again, but my god even though im runnin about 15.75" stays my god it still manuals easily, the slacker headangle 69 is takin a while to get used to but my god its sweet barspins and x-ups are no longer constrained by tyre vs foot incidents, and the weight is almost a kilo lighter than last, thats with the exact same build, it looks so hot iright nowwww

[DEMONATION]

mmm i want one. maybe i should start selling something. nice ride naz :)

[-DAvo]

"that nicolai is so hot right now!" ;)

looks the ducks nuts naz, i must say im envious of those sweet drop outs... ahh well im going back to gears anyway on mine *shock*

cant wait for the built up pics ;)

[johnny]

[naz]: anodised silver.

[tu plang]

either way, looks amazing.

[Tristan23]

you drove past me this arvo with it strapped to your roof naz, bout 30 mins after i had seen the pics of just the frame in this thread, but it was complete.
looked super nice man, how does it compare to the Raffnix?

STFU, Those useless cunts from Elite are takin ages with teh profile hub :P hurry the freaken up

[Rik]

That has to be one of the cleanest looking Nicolais available, very nice :)
Just wondering though, what purpose do the elongated dropout slots serve? I've been paying alot of attention to different sliding dropout designs lately and this one intrigues me.

im still baffled, the non drive side has a really long dropout, but the drive side is just long enough to fit the 14mm bolt, the setup was the easiest ive ever done, the disc mount was perfectly spaced n faced, and took 3 mins to have the caliper aligned then after that chain tensioning was a breeze, and the 2 6mm bolts hold pretty damn tight.

[big_pete]

Pimpin naz, that bikes off da charts brudda :D

Good work again ( thumbs up )

[technoboy]

i think you stink! ;)
p.s Naz's first ride wasn't the best as his new ride tried to eat his shin....

[MORRK_DH]

Nice Nice, love the rotor and how did you get your pikes to 80mm i will have the same soon, just wondering

[hinga1]

Heck Yeah....

[manGo]

Sick ride !! About time you got the sponsorship, you deserve it well and congratulations. Haha so lucky to ride a frame like that. Good Job.

Good luck with things :D .

[Rik]

Nevertheless, there's surely a reason for it, and one would expect nothing less than impeccable finishing and aligntment from such a nicely made bike! :cool:
It's a bead blasted and anodised finish, yeh? I'd imagine the logos are anodised too? Stylin...

[hubbie]

woo hoo! that thing is sick!

[Mo]

pretty welds....
like it.

Hey rik the purpose of the elongated drop outs is for the use of a rolhoff hub.
It is indeed anodized silver finish , but the logos are stickers as you can customize your own colour decals when you order.(60 colours, 3 anodization, and 3 camouflage colours and about 15 different decals to choose from).

Nicho

[Rik]

Ahh of course, that makes alot of sense. Having looked at nicolai.net again, all their frames have an elongated left dropout for a Rohloff hub to mount with the cable assembly plate aligning itself in the slot for, instead of having the arm bolt on to the chainstay like needed for usual aftermarket installation. Very clever.

[MUGEN]

Jesus that hot, looks crazy short. The nicolai website says 66 head angle?? :confused:

[shauno]

Goddamm, thats sexy!
Cant wait to go riding with you again some time!
Whats youse doin with your Last Braa?

[tonka_202]

Thats is very sexy!, love the rear rotor!

[Dan.]

that bike is bloody hot
got any changes in mind
edit: are those gold spokes on the back wheel

[Lowrider#1]

ok. there's only one major flaw in the build-up of this bike...
It's too damn nice to ride!!:D
Great job man, keep up the great work.
Btw, lovin' the rotor *drools*

[NeBoS]

WOW!!! totally awesome craftsmanship right there. I especially like the dropouts and drillings in the seatstays...

[hardinge915]

that bike is bloody hot

edit: are those gold spokes on the back wheel
yeah.. Ti Spokes....

[floody]

Very nice....
I wonder if you can get them without the gusset on the side of the headtube? The rest of the frame is pure class, but somehow that gusset just looks kinda "welded up by the local engineering shop" stylee. All said it still looks very nice.

Edit: And where does one get Ti spokes from? Brand? rough price?

[hardinge915]

I was wrong :) read below

Naz if you read this again soon... how is the rear wheel holding up? Are the Ti spokes stronger than the normal style?

[Ruckus_Lord]

Thats pretty hot mate. Whats the geo like? Those stays look super short even at the longest setting.


I'm pritty sure the Geo is fully customizable to suit the rider (Although i am unsure if Naz could've been bothered to come up with his own geo. :P)

Speaking in the sence of customizable, Nicolai really do suit the rider, the frame and decal colours are fully customizable to what the rider wants.

no idea where from... but i think i read it on here somewhere that they retail around $12 each? Im open for corections though..

Naz if you read this again soon... how is the rear wheel holding up? Are the Ti spokes stronger than the normal style?
They are not $12 a spoke, Whoever told you that was obviously hitting the bong.

They are around $4 each for a high quality brand such as DT swiss (Although i am unsure if they still produce Ti?), Marwi and Wheelsmith just to name a few. (http://www.bti-usa.com/ imports Marwi, So you can contact the boys at http://www.balleracing.com/ and they can import anything from bti-usa.com, They're also really helpfull with price.;))

Ti spokes can usually be made to around the same strength as normal spokes, They need to be tightened a fair bit more though because the Ti stretches, They also have quite a bit of flex (Which can be seen in a good way, It provides a smoother ride as the spokes more or less soak up bumps...and it can also act as a form of preload for a bunny hop or something as such).

exactly cromoly frames are so much more pretty

[Dirt Devil]

OK, I think 9 pages of talk about the spec is enough (did anyone mention that it's f***ing tidy). Let's see you hit some sh!t already.

[Dan.]

why did you change your wheel from a 729 to a single track?

[bazza]

is that the profile stem that doesnt need any pinch bolts? just clamp the bars on and your away? or is it a different one?

[Ruckus_Lord]

Yep, the 'HIP' stands for 'Hidden internal piston', Basically when you do up the bar clamp it pushes a piston back onto your steerer tube.:)

ill second his opinion as well... the frame looks ncie, but imo there are some nicer bikes around..

each to their own...

[sasser]

i dont think i need to make any comments on the bike, i couldnt add anyhting more to this thread.

a few questions tho

weight of your last raffnix as compared to this bike, this one looks alot beefier- given that it is alloy compared to steel/cromo.

are ti spokes worth it (*approx 180 per wheel just on spokes!)

and are there any things you can reccomend when building a street bike.

your bicycle is amazing.i just cant imagine how it must feel to ride

[GuRhInDiZzLe]

so have you acctually ridden a nicolai hardtail? and in particular the bmxtb?

its great you and your buddy are such hardcore cromo gangbangers but i reckon till you acctually jump on one of these bikes and ride it around, your opinions are fairly one sided.

so when i make a comment about the looks of a bike it means that i wouldnt buy it because of the looks does it?

fare comment mate but if ya read my post it says i think alloy frames looks crap based on i think they are too beef and i dont like it, i didnt say one thing about the way a nicolai rides. I can see you like alloy bikes as you have owned a few awesomely specced ones but thats your own opinion.

as for johnny how is haz or i am meant to be able to tell how it rides from looking at it on a forum execpt for looking at the geo of the frame. Im sure when you post about a bike in this forum that is posted by someone you have never met, you look at the frame and components and give your opinion on what it looks like not what it rides like.

If you buy a new frame how are you going to know what it feels like before you put it together. Living in Tassie alot of the new frames coming out people down here have to have to take a gamble on because most of the time no one else owns one and you have no way of telling what its goign to ride like. Could be different where your from everyone proly has sick new frames and you can ride them all to see what they feel like and then buy the one you like best. But even then i bet you dont buy it purely on how it rides, you would want a good looking bike aswell.

[johnny]

I agree with pretty much all you are saying. I just don't agree with posting derisive comments on some one's pride and joy. What's the point? I think this is one of those forums where if you don't have anything nice to say, etc. etc.
