Title: 530L or 537L Raven wanted
Post by: humedavid on February 22, 2017, 11:30:01 pm
I would test ride  / buy 530L or 537L Raven in good condition.
I'm in London.
If you have one, even with no intension of selling, I would be happy to test ride it. In return I can offer my recumbent for you to try ( ideally you're at least 5'9")
Thanks
David

Hi! I haven't got it yet!  I was meant to go and see it today, but not feeling 100% so had to cancel last minute.
I will post a photo, I promise!

I think a 565L frame should be better for you   :)

Thank you for the tip! However, I've tried one and the bars were too far to reach.
Do you have one?

So a 565M should be fine ( i speak about the Nomad)

About the Raven, a 565 frame size should be too big i think, it's depends what you want to do with the bike..

Yes i've one Nomad (565L) I'm 175 cm tall 81 cm innerlegs and 174 cm arms and shoulder.

I feel confortable and the seat post is fairly out

Ok I'll add the 565M to my list then :) Thank you!

The sizes I mention earlier were suggested by the Thorn workshop after I shared the dimensions of my current bike with them.

Me too Thorn workshop advised me a 540L   :)  certainly the frame could have suited me but i was a doubt...

As well my choice it's done by the opportunity i found, i wanted a Nomad in very good condition, with the steerer tube fork not cut too short
