We have been selling Nicolai frames since 2004 and we have seen lots of great examples and trends over that period. We started off by selling mostly black anodized frames. It’s a tough, no nonsense finish that stands up to years of trail abuse and we have customers that clean their frame up and replace their decals every year, they look good as new.
We went through a long period of camo effect finishes but this has now been left behind. The current trend is vivid, bright full colours in gloss finish. The powdercoat on each Nicolai frame really is top drawer, like the frames, it’s there to last.
