The fabrication of a high end bicycle frame involves a vast number of individual production steps, all of which Nicolai carry out under one roof. The basic raw material from which they build their frames is Aluminium. It is delivered in the form of blocks and tubes. Nicolai use several butted tubesets from EASTON® as well as aircraft grade 7020 and 7005 aluminium tubing. Milled parts which are not welded are made out of Al Cu Mg 1 aluminium.

Nicolai take great pride in their anodizing and powder coating options and offer a wide choice of finishes and custom options. Have a look at their 2008 colour choices, they will amaze you. For detailed information see www.nicolai.net
