2004 Nicolai Bass FR Hope XT Saint Mavic

Welcome



For Sale

X1 Used custom Nicolai Bass FR

Needless to say this is pretty rare in the UK and even rarer to get in this condition.

The frame was stripped down to bare metal inspected for any defects in its raw state.

Once happy that the frame met the grade the frame was powder coated a gorgeous Gloss Black by the pro's at Trestans

The frame was then rebuilt, new graphics applied and the rebuild started from there.

To get an idea of the restoration and how the bike has evolved please check my pinkbike album
