Thorn Raven Nomad Mk 2 565L with Rohloff hub - Now Sold

(1/3) > >>

Vendor tom:
This was my father’s hardly used Thorn, that he bought in 2011, intending to tour Europe.  Sadly he died a few months later before he managed to make it across the channel. We think he did less than 100 miles on it and it has not been used since.

The frame size is 565L (virtual seat tube length).  It’s too small for me, but it is a wonderful touring bike.  It is a bright yellow 969 steel frame with Thorn steel forks and S&S couplings for easy transport and stowage.  With Thorn pannier racks front and rear

Gearing is a Rohloff Speedhub, 14 speed hub gear at the rear and it has a Schmidt SON 28 Dynamo hub on the front, powering a Scmidt Edelux high power headlight.  

The bike cost over £2,800 when he bought it and is hardly used.  The full spec is below and I would be happy to answer any questions.

Many thanks to everyone for your kind messages.  I have updated the price as I think got it wrong before and I'm sorry for any confusion.

Danneaux:
My! That's a lovely example, and very nicely photographed by you.

I have a feeling it won't be too long before it finds a happy home!

I'm very sorry for your loss and realize putting such things up for sale cannot be easy, as they bring back happy memories and also loss; my condolences.

Best,

Dan.

Hi there, would be keen for a contact to discus,
Thanks Andrew

JimK:
That sure looks like a brand new and beautiful bike! What a sad story that causes it to appear here. I hope these projects, Tom, help to connect you to community and resources so you can celebrate more fully your father's accomplishments and dreams.

Drewwin:
Hi Tom

Is the Thorn still available? 

And is the rear hub the disc compatible version?

I'm planning to cycle through Europe myself next year so perhaps your dad's bike may get to do the journey he planned for it.  I would like to come and see it if possible.

Would you be able to send me a message with some contact details to arrange a day/time that would be convenient - this weekend perhaps?
Thanks,
Drew
