Looks in lovely condition and a Carradice saddlebag is included.

Not mine

Looks like it's 3 sizes too small for the seller. Idiotic. Don't buy unless you are 5'4".

I have sent a message to the seller-and-received a reply.
The bike is NOT a 550 as can be seen by ANY Thorn enthusiast.
Typing error on the part of the seller.
I know not what actual size it is-but-it is pretty tiny (small)!

Glad yer keeping an eye on things here,Leftpoole ;). Last night I had a query(I guess via here)on my Club Tour. Chap in France was enquiring if it was still for sale as he wanted my size bike as hisClub Tour was too small. I couldnt help him out. He just wanted to exchange the frame?? or something similar. I didnt want to do that to be left with two wheels and a chainset. And I couldnt handle the stress or worry about mailing my bike over to the continent. It remains in the garage. Afraid I dont do the miles these days,and this bloody covid and weather...and ageing...cor blimey! I'm not the man I used to be.

Stay safe. Nice seeing yer still above ground as as like myself :)

Take care

I have several pieces of Carradice luggage. From the photograph the stitching and badge look decidedly un Carradice to me!

It looks genuine enough to me! It is a Carradice Barley and very popular these are too.

My super C Luggage  is better finished as is my CaraDura luggage, I just thought the stitching looked badly done, not finished off with thread not cut off neatly? Just an opinion.
