Title: Thorn Audax Mk3 R Frame & Fork Set
Post by: leftpoole on August 05, 2015, 12:31:21 PM

Thorn Audax Mk3 R Frame & Fork Set

The above is listed on the Thorn/St John  Street Cycles webpages and is listed separately to Mk 3 Audax.
I am assuming this is an updated way of selling,  the cost has gone
up considerably!
Regards,
John

What's the R mean John?  How does this differ from the cheaper Mk3 frames?

The R means revised, due to customer feedback the rear end now takes 32c tyres and guards, the front fork now no longer has low rider bosses.

The price increase (£25) is due to rising raw material costs, and having to pay for tooling for our own rear dropouts to copy the now extinct Ritchey one we used to use.

Hope this helps.
