From time to time, a Nua bike owner takes the time to write us a detailed and in-depth feedback, which we always greatly appreciate. In this case, Samuel details his experience with his Nua Roure Pinion, equipped with a Volare foldable rack. Perhaps the perfect ATB (All Terrain Bike)?

Jon is an experienced touring guy. His old and well used Carradice side panniers are proof of this. By the way, what do you think of the custom lowriders racks we built especially for them? Another old school detail are the pedals toe clips and straps he still likes to use. Or the fact that he came to pick up the bike and returned home (in England) riding it, is another sign that this man devours more kilometers than energy bars. We leave you with some images of his fully equ

We love it when a former customer, after enjoying his first Nua for a few years, orders a second bike from us. It is the best compliment that can be made of our work. And it happens more often and there are already quite a few “second Nua” bikes that we have out there. This is the case of Viktor. After ordering us a Kensho Pinion with some Randonneur saveur, Viktor needed something to travel seriously, well equipped, for any type of terrain, so he thought of ordering a Roure

Today we bring you this Special Project that we built for Marco, in Switzerland. We are very proud of it. Marco wanted a robust, functional and zero-maintenance bike, but with track bike aesthetics and behavior. As you can see, the first thing that stands out is the geometry of its frame, very aggressive, with that top tube with inverted sloping, some super dropped seat stays, and geo angles that, together with its barely 9Kg weight, make it very agile and fun in the city. Th

Matijs from Belgium had been thinking about our Nua Sílice Rohloff for a long time, so close to his 33 anniversary, he thought it would be a good present for himself. He had a steel gravel bike with which he had crossed Europe, and felt quite comfortable on it, although on very long days (not strange for him to ride during 14 hours per day) could feel some discomfort in the shoulders. When seeing his bike measurements, we advised him of some modifications, which were later co

Kath wrote to us a first email starting like this: “Absolutely love your bikes....I currently own two titanium bikes and really love that material. I don't see any ladies in your gallery? I'm just under 5'4" 10 stone 7lb.... I ride around 130 recreational miles a week during the summer less in the winter. Much of my riding is day rides out and back as well as a number of overnight rides 2/3 nights at a time - often alone. I live on the edge of the Brecon beacons and have some

We built this ultra Hi-Tech Roure Pinion for Thierry from Swiss. The bike has some components out of our standard offer, so we thought you should watch it in depth! Nua Roure Pinion First of all, a good set of Hope Tech 3 V4 brakes, which are not only striking. CNC'd machined and fully adjustable, they exude a sense of quality and high technology that corresponds to their operation without a doubt. Aided by 180mm floating rotors, the stopping power is second to none, and the

We're pretty in love with this kind of Sílice configuration. This is Robby's bike, he contacted us from Canada and for a few months now, he has been enjoying this wonderful Sílice Roholff. Nua Sílice Rohloff Robby wanted to name his bike "Gayle Storm", in honor of a small boat that his parents had when he was younger. So we anodized the name on the top tube. Anodized Name "...The bike rides beautifully! It truly is awesome and I really appreciate all of your hard work. The de
