Title: hard to get ten speed groupset.
Post by: jags on January 19, 2015, 10:29:41 PM
Whats the story with all these mail order companys ,i spotted the groupset i want in chainreaction and what do you know out of stock.i think this is a stunt there pulling along with wiggle so as you buy either the 105 or ultegra 11 speed .
nice groupset though i really fancy it.

Hello 'newbie',
Welcome to the Thorn Forum!
Which model Thorn do you own?
Or maybe you are thinking of a Thorn?
$whichever way I'm certain the 'lads and lasses'. Here on the Thorn forum will be able to give you most, if not all the advice you require about your Thorn bicycle.
Best regards from a multiple Thorn owner,
John
PS:- Where are you located  ;D

That's correct.  My Thorn Nomad is a 14 speed state of the art bike, not 11 speed.   ;)

Anto, I hope you get your bike soon (and your back gets better). Someone with as much enthusiasm for riding as you really needs to be riding.

I think I know where this is going .... Ultegra 11 speed groupset perchance?  ::)

Anto, you'll need the Rapha gear as well when you've got this supersonic carbon jobbie built up   ;D

Looking forward to reading about the finished article.

Assos is nice gear Anto, I used to have one of their rain jackets but it got badly ripped in a wee tumble.

I've got a fair bit of Gore Bike Wear stuff nowadays, good quality.   ;D
