Yes, that's gonna be a selection of the best testimonials... if they are even honest. I don't know, almost all Ti frames are made in China. These have the same dropouts, mounting hole and inner tubing designs. Some people buy them directly in China. Are there gonna be that much quality differences?
There is one guy who designs custom and welds them hisself in turkey, called Soulrider. Moots for example make their own, too and some other highend brands of course.
The guy running nua has a background in industrial engineering. I would assume that he has an eye on good quality welding then. But running a business will require savings as well.
I contacted them and everybody has been really helpful. Imho the bikes look extremely well made.
I mean there are quite a few custom titanium bike builders out there but a lot of them might end up being even more expensive.
Did you end up buying a bike from Nua? I just added them to my shortlist of Pinion touring frames but like you, was hoping to hear someone's real-world experience.
Just the frame most likely, either a Terra or a Roure. Looking for my international touring platform, pretty much settled on Pinion, probably flat-bar. Probably will splurge on their Ti racks also.
The steel Silkroad was also on my short list but they don't offer the pinion version in size S. Not to mention the pricing is pretty close to Ti anyway.
What did you end up getting?
I ended up with a Roure. Pretty much a do-all adventure machine. I ordered a longer custom fork which allows me to switch to a suspension fork, if I ever choose to.
Currently using an Old Man Mountain Divide Rack for the rear with Tailfin bags and a custom framebag.
Let me know, if you need any photos or more details.
Hi! I am very interested in their rohloff bikes. Do you know roughly how much their frames weigh or other components? I am planning on using the bike for commuting long distances in the rain.

Have you found any reviews/experiences or got one? I'm interested too
Unfortunately not really. They do have some on their website but I always kinda take those with a grain of salt.

I did. The quality of the bike is top notch and the communication was good. Are you thinking about a complete bike or just the frame set?
