Van Nicholas Vardar

Ok, so it's not new and super glamourous, but as I'd just stripped it down, cleaned and polished it, then popped it back together again I thought I'd share it with the forum. Think I've adhered to the photo rulings



Built on a bit of a budget a few years ago (back in the day when Centaur was third in Campags pyramid, instead of the more budget looking kit of today IMO) with occasional updates

The top tube slopes a little too much for my liking but it looks ace..
Good call on the white bar tape and saddle.

Nice, I almost bought one of these from Fatbirds. Had a test ride and was very impressed, quite a racy ride I thought. They had a deal for frame and forks for £299 but I was seduced by an Orbea Onix they had in the corner.

Very slick, crikey though you must be a tall guy?

seriously a nice looking bike, I have an Airborne Thunderbolt out in Spain, it was roughly the predecessor to yours but without the carbon rear end, it's nice and agile not quite so well specced as yours but I picked it up for only about £300.

well done
