Not mine, I saw it on Ebay. Thorns in USA are very rare, so I listed that in the subject line.

No bidders, relisted at same price.

I am surprised it did not sell, with that many S&S couplings and considering the high cost of Rohloffs in USA, this should be a valuable item.

Did not sell again. They relisted it with a slightly lower price. I am surprised it is still there.

I can't tell from the photos if the front wheel has a dynohub or not. In one photo there is a hint of a bulge in the hub like you would see on a Son or SP hub.

Yes, George, a nice one for sure! Like you, I'm surprised it hasn't sold more quickly, particularly where it is on this side of the Big Water.
I agree...that front hub look like it might be a dynohub. Fun to speculate.
There's a surprising number of Thorns in Florida but we typically don't hear too much from the owners. I may have corresponded with the owners of this one back in 2010 when I was contemplating my Sherpa purchase, but then again...this one looks newer than that.
Best wishes to seller and buyer alike.
All the best,
Dan.

Nobody bid, it did not sell. The owner does not appear to have re-listed it. Considering what a Rohloff by itself sells for in USA, this was a bargain.
If anyone was interested in it they might consider using the Ebay messaging system to contact seller.
Several years ago I saw a Sherpa on Ebay, it was my size, nobody bid. I contacted the owner after the auction and asked if they would be interested in selling just the frame. That is how I managed to buy my Thorn Sherpa frame.

It has been re-listed at $2000 USD.
