I couldn't be with out my Thorn but...............

[pourly]

I have a Thorn Raven and i use it every day to work to town every where as i haven't learnt to drive and there are no busses [:0]. But the clame that this bike is quote perfect i don't think is true, i think that advances in technology should be introduced to these "perfect bikes" as it becomes avalible and customer's feedback should help make the future bikes even better i say this as i find it difficult to beleve that Thorn can dismiss the chain guard topic and so if i want to fit one to my bike i have to order it from wherever it is in Germany then modify it in some cases   madness
I also find the paint chips all over the bike.
Any feed back or other comments wolud be good[]

I don't think chainguards are dismissed. There is just nothing out there that's up to standard to fit the Raven style, as in what type of bicycle it is. I prefere one too and have cycled with one for most of my life. I know whats on offer in Holland and Germany (I speak the languages), were the majority of the guards are being used. I examened the Noel guard and others, in the shops there.





Nothing is perfect.
