This is a place holder for my bike I'm picking up in 4 and 1/2 hours from now. ;D
Pics will be up when I get home, nothing other than stock parts but I can't wait.

Just got back home. It wasn't from a shop it was from the same man that had the catalist on ebay. It only cost me £800 and it looks new. It's built in 2009 and I couldn't be happier. It's got a 32/16 chainring/sprocket on and I'm going to change that to 42/16.
Anyway, here are a few pics.

Just been out for a 10 mile ride. Needs a longer stem but other than that it's fantastic. Very sturdy and no rattles.

Wow that looks a beauty, a very black beauty, sounds like you got a great deal there, the rohloff alone is nearly a grand.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your new aquisition.
Any chance of a rundown of the components of your Raven?
Thanks for posting, we all love a photo.
Cheers, Neil.

No, the guy only rode it once or twice. He has A LOT of other bikes. It's in such good condition, I can't believe how cheap I got it.

Well I've got the original paperwork and I checked the hub with rohloff so I guess so.
The reason I think I got it so cheap is I talked to him about this one that was on sale on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thorn-Raven-Catalyst-/251674917950?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3a98fe7c3e&nma=true&si=Dm7fyIQUhBscTtRGe%252B8C5GInDFM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
He based the price of how much he got for that.
