I love my 3 titanium bikes and am planning on my 4th so I obviously very clearly hate titanium. Such a smooth comfortable ride, if welded properly will last a lifetime (Ti is very much like Wu-Tang, forever) and no need to worry about corrosion and honestly if it gets scratched like all my other bikes I can just buff it out no worries. I can also paint it or Cerakote it or do a really cool anodizing pattern like you will see on a lot of Firefly ti bikes.
Van Nicholas seems like a legit company making some nice bikes and I have long looked at their stuff being like "do want" many times. You will not be disappointed.
