XL Thorn Tourer
« on: February 15, 2011, 12:08:43 am »
I'm off to Spain in the summer and I'm after a good solid second-hand touring bike.
Frame size required is XL - around 60 - 62cm (I'm 6ft 3")
Ideal spec is: steel; comfort bars; super strong wheels; rear carriers
Can anyone help - My budget is £1,000 but I can be flexible if need be.
Many thanks
Allan

Hi
Just seen your thread on the forum. I have a Thorn Raven Tour with a Rohloff , bought in September 2009. It is a 587L and I am 6' 3". It has been on 2 'tours' - once around France and once around Northern Spain, both on road. The reason I would sell is that I have 2 bikes and cannot warrant keeping one for 6 weeks of the year. It was originally bought to do a long ( year ) trip but this seems more and more unlikely. I would probably be looking for £1250 for it as I paid well in excess of £2000. If you are interested , I will forward a photo and spec.
cheers
steve

Hi Steve

Not sure if my last post to you was successful or not!
Anyway I'm very interested in your Thorn Raven Tour.
Please send photos and spec.
Where about are you based?
Best regards
