Usage

Amazon Rohloff

New for 2008, you can now spec the Amazon with the award winning enclosed 14-gear Rohloff hub for smooth, almost unnoticeable shifting. Practically bullet proof, it means you can do away with the rear mech and cassette thus reducing maintenance. The Amazon Rohloff’s drop-out and cable guides differ from the standard bike and the decals are silver instead of blue.

Design
The geometry of the Amazon has been designed to enhance day-long comfort and stability under load, whilst still offering rewarding handling for a faster ride. The Van Nicholas Amazon is our Cycle-Cross/touring/upright road and Audax frame. You can seize the day and configure this frame in a multitude of variations to meet your performance and riding criteria. Complete rack and fender braze-ons, with ample tyre clearance allows you to use and attach anything that your riding requires. The frame is cantilever and V-brake compatible as well as having three sets of water bottle bosses.
