New for 2013:
Internal Cable routing, BB30 and intergrated headset!
The Zephyr has been designed with all-day saddle occupancy in mind. The Zephyr is a high-spec road bike for the rider seeking a forgiving performance solution for longer, fast-paced events and day-long riding solo or within a bunch.
This frame includes a FREE carbon fork and a Kooka Headset
DESIGN
The Zephyr’s award winning design is based on providing day-long comfort. The semi-compact dimensions are created to produce a laterally stiff, yet vertically compliant ride, with seat and chain stays that increase the comfort level in the frame. The Van Nicholas Zephyr: comfortable for long rides, stiff enough for climbing and sprinting, strong enough to last a lifetime.
