Van Nicholas Deveron
Expand Horizons
Boasting a virtually maintenance-free Pinion gearbox, countless luggage and accessory configurations and disc brakes or rim brakes, this is the bike to carry you safely through early mornings on misty mountain roads, and sunsets looking out over glistening, far-flung seas.This particular model is ready to tour; fitted with Tubus Logo & Duo racks, SKS mudguards, wheel lock and titanium bling throughout.
Titanium Casted Sliding Dropout
A Van Nicholas titanium frame is a truly special thing. Made from aerospace grade titanium with a beautiful hand-brushed finish, along with casted titanium sliding dropouts and bracket for the Pinion gearbox, an engraved headtube and mounts for racks and mudguards, the Deveron is something to behold. Is it tough enough? Van Nicholas back their frames with a lifetime warranty. That should answer that!
Pinion Drive
The Deveron has been specifically designed for the Pinion gearbox; a unique design that provides the greatest range of gears with the lowest possible maintenance. With a belt drive the Deveron is the pinnacle of touring bikes.Why Pinion?
Due to the arrangement in middle of the bicycle and its excellent product properties, the P1.18 improves the system bicycle and increases riding fun.Advantages:
- 18 "real" gears with no overlap.
- Enormous overall gear ratio of 636%, which exceeds that of all common derailleur or internal gear hub drivetrains and offers a suitable gear for every riding situation.
- Smooth and comfortable gear ratios of 11.5% throughout the whole range of gears.
- Fast and easy shifting of gears through a twist shifter (also possible at standstill).
- Rugged and sealed housing for protection against damage and dirt.
- Low-wear and durable due to the closed system design and oil splash lubrication.
- Longer life span of the chain drive, as there occurs no skewing of the chain.
- Drastic reduction of maintenance effort (oil change required only every 10,000 kilometers respectively once a year).
- Minimization of complexity on the bicycle.
- Improvement in riding dynamics through positioning close to the centre of gravity of the bicycle.
- Substantial reduction of the rear wheel weight and simultaneous increase of the rear wheel stability when used with symmetric laced single speed hubs.
- Compatible with belt drives.
UK delivery
If your item is in stock and ordered before 12pm, we will do our best to despatch your order the day you place it. In busy times we tell you how long it will take us to process it.
The above does not apply to bikes, which we have to assemble and inspect before repacking for dispatch. Typically we try to have bike orders dispatched within 3-5 days, but in busier times it may take longer. In those cases we'll let you know of longer than expected delivery times.
Please bear in mind that we are closed on Wednesdays, so no items will be dispatched then.
Free postage over £40
For small items we use Royal Mail's 48 service which has a delivery time of typically 2-3 days from dispatch; though you do have the option to upgrade to 24 which is generally next-day from dispatch if you require your order sooner. Please note in some cases the item will need to be signed for, so please provide an address where someone will be in.
Orders of over £40 will qualify for free standard postage with Royal Mail 48. This may exclude certain bulky or awkward items which will be calculated automatically at the basket screen.
Bike shipping
When we send out a larger parcel such as a bike or trailer we use a next-day courier - usually either DPD or Parcelforce.
For these reasons please supply us with a delivery address where there will be someone in to sign for your parcel. If there is nobody in when the couriers call, they will leave a card. You can then phone them to arrange delivery for another day or collect your goods from your local depot (a photo ID with proof of address will be required).
How will my bike be delivered?
We fully assemble, safety check and inspect every bike as though you were going to ride it away from our showroom.
However, to get it back into a box suitable for a courier to handle, we have to remove the pedals, handlebar and usually the front wheel - so some minor reassembly is required when the bike is delivered to you.
Please bear in mind that you might need a 15mm spanner for the pedals (adult's bikes generally do not come with pedals included, so you may not need to worry about this), and 4mm, 5mm and 6mm allen/hex keys for the reassembly.
Outside the UK
Since Brexit it is no longer feasible for our website to have permanent shipping prices for international delivery. Instead, if there is an item you are interested in, please Contact Us with a full delivery address and we will quote for delivery.
All the prices on our website and catalogue are in pounds sterling and are inclusive of VAT, but VAT will be removed for international orders. Please bear in mind that you will likely have to pay your country's taxes, import duties and associated courier handling fees for any items.
