For an extra £99 they'll make a custom frame for you - and they're British! Just nip down to Brighton to get measured up. Same sort of money as a Van Nic but custom made. No brainer really.
Airborne (Europe) became Van Nicholas.itisaboutthebike said:FYI -
Enigma and other UK companies marketing Ti frames are British, but the frames aren't made in the UK. I don't know of any UK builder building Ti frames(altho I stand to be corrected !) - which is a pity really.
Van Nicholas is based in Holland and have thier frames made in China.
Enigma have thier frames made in Russia I believe, whereas Sunday have thiers made in China.
My Airborne Ti was made in China and is a very nice bike.

My latest frame is an XACD from China. Build quality as good as Airborne, although a few ounces heavier. $445 plus delivery, which included some custom fittings.itisaboutthebike said:My Airborne Ti was made in China and is a very nice bike.
