Martinf's new Thorn

(1/7) > >>

martinf:
My new Thorn arrived a couple of weeks ago but I have only just finished getting it ready, first ride probably tomorrow.

It's one of the old stock Raven Tour frames, 587S. Not taped the bars yet, as I want to experiment with different bar tilts, move the brake levers and try different stem heights and extensions.

Danneaux:
My! That's a breathtakingly beautiful build, Martin. I am so glad it has arrived, and can't wait for the first of what I'm sure will be many ride reports and (hopefully!) more photos. You even fitted a Hebie Chainglider -- magnificent!

That's what did the trick for me, Martin. See: http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=4523.msg28317#msg28317 Thanks for sharing; can't wait to see more of this gorgeous bike.

Best,

Dan.

I spy...with my little eye...lots of details!

• What appears to be a B&M IQ Cyo-series headlight
• A mysterious little rectangle just below it...? A reflector, perhaps, like this one? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/schmidt-white-reflex-reflector-for-edelux-prod23917/ If so, then this might be the 60lux version of the Cyo?
• An extended front mudguard very nicely done and bolted in place for replacement or modification if necessary)
• F/R extended mudflaps on the 'guards
• 'Cross-top/interrupter brake levers
• Oh! You're a clips 'n' straps man, like me! Feetbelts.
• A Hubbub mount for the Rohloff shifter.
• Just spotted the snap-on SKS/Scotchlite spoke reflectors

...and lots more. Give, Martin, before I go blind looking for more!  :D

All the best,

Dan.
