That looks a well cared for classic, I've just forwarded it on to someone who it would fit, though I have a feeling it won't be modern enough for her, which would IMO be a mistake.

Looks a great bike for someone!  I'd be interested, but I bought a Nomad last December.

Hi,

I actually bought that, in a moment of impulse, for my boy to use (potentially). I cannot exactly work out how big it is (in terms of standover or compare it to a newer club tour) but I have three boys, so it will fit one of them for a period I am sure.
Does anyone know what size it would be it terms of equivalent.
(Not collecting for a while due to current situation)
Thanks in advance
Matt

Congratulations, I think it looks a good buy. 
You might need it in front of you to get the full idea of size, 19" is pretty small, the smallest in the current range will probably be the nearest equivalent.

Thanks PH, yes, I thought at that sort of price it was worth a punt. I am fairly familiar with the modern Thorn sizing but was a little unsure as sellers often seem to measure in 'interesting' ways!
I am 5' 8" so anything down from that to 4ft 6 is going to be of some use! Just need another small one now!
Kind regards Matt
