First ride this morning, still tweaking the set up so won’t be cutting the steerer or wrapping the bars quite yet. An easy build apart from the mudguards which were a pig to fit with the Thorn under fork/bridge fittings and the proximity of the 30mm tyres.
Am happy with the frame/fork combo, lively and comfortable - not as comfy as my (non-Thorn) tourer but that’s to be expected and a like-for-like comparison isn’t that meaningful with the two different wheel/tyre set ups.
Had forgotten what a brand-new Brooks feels like - brutal compared to my 15 yr old!
Pleased I went for the TRP RG957 brakes. Pricey but they are spot on in terms of quality, fit and bite.
Looking forward to getting some miles in on this one when things warm up a bit
