Lovely looking bike. Are the brake cables the wrong way round?

Not mine

I see it's sold now, just the one bidder. £795, I think someone will be happy.

As for the brakes, they appear to be the correct way round; they're the same way as appears in the Raven Tour brochure. The route that the rear brake cable takes around the right-hand side of the seat tube does kind of glare out as being a mistake but it is actually as intended.

I was pondering on that one myself. I was wondering if I could use its hub etc. on that Enduro frame available on the Thorn website. Price wise it looked possible but the Enduro takes disc brakes only and I hadn't looked into any potential compatiblity problems. It just wan't meant to be!
Someone has got themselves a rather nice bike at a very fair price I think.
