Oh, Andy...those are the links for the earbuds still on the clipboard rather than the Thorns...

Here's the 54cm:

Well spotted, and both by the same seller! Might make that perfect matched pair for some couple who prefer blue...

All the best,

Dan.

Another nice day here so might try and take the 3 grandchildren home on the bike. It will be the first trip out for the twins.

Thanks for catching that Dan

Thanks for post :)

Hrm not an XTC and 700C...let me think about it. Clearances may not be the same.

Yes I am fussy! :)

Added to watchlist in any case.

Bit like a Raven Sport tour with a derailleur I guess, rather then Nomad/eXp heavy duty?

Strange, I put in a bid for the smaller one only to find that it has been cancelled with the sale ended. When I looked there was no evdence of any bids. So I can't find the reason why. Oh well the larger one remains for sale. I'll keep looking. Steve

I think it was the smaller one that he was interested in Dan that has vanished. It is the bigger oe that is still up for auction

Yes thanks it was the smaller one but at 5' 7" the larger may fit.
I placed a decent starting bid only to be informed that it had been cancelled...somewhat reluctant to bid on the other though now. Thanks for the info though...I'm still loking for a decent tourer . Steve

Ask for standover and reach on bike and work from there?

Might work I am 5"5' on a 55.5 VT XTC top tube short reach bars and short stem saddle forward and it's a go.

You should have longer reach than me I'd say at 5"7' so ask and try :)
