Here is a link to the Nomad info from thorn showing the wreath headbadge and 725 tubing so the plot thickens

Just checked, we used to use the wreath on all Nomads, around the same time we went 531-725 we trialed the shield one as this one has, then the very late 725 went back to a wreath of Thorns. So the head badge isn't a definitive way to tell either, however this one is 725 for sure as it has a 27.2mm seat post and all 531's were 27.0mm, the tubing was also embossed as 725 (which I can't show you as its now painted).

Hope this clears any confusion, apologies for the minefield I seem to have created

No probs Dave and thanks for the clarification. These really were fantastic bikes and I am sure whoever ends up with it will be more than happy.

Hi Dave
nice to have spoken to you 

jags you want a link with old pics, i stumbled a cross this one the other day, http://web.archive.org/web/20050420000110/http://www.sjscycles.com/store/vIndex.htm
the display/used bikes is where i got the pics, that i posted in another thread (100 views and no one commented lol you lot have no souls), never seen so many thorn pics in one place, so saved them in case the wayback machine loses them
the only decent pics of a Nemesis i/'ve seen are in there

btw on the wayback machine it shows a date range in graph form you can use it to navigate over a few months

Bill,

In thanks for your efforts to find/post/save the photos, I made your topic "sticky" so it will remain easily found at the beginning of the topic list for the Thorn General board.

Best,

Dan.

Hi Dan

Nice One 
i'll add more to them if it's ok, I didn't want to seem over eager
on ccs we had a ref section, I used to use it all the time if people where talking of something i knew nought about (got years of catching up to do i came to Thorn quiet late, still i got one in the end    )

Any Sterlings likely to appear Dave, especially for a 5ft 7 incher with a 30 inch inleg?

Thanks

Andy
