I've seen this bike advertised and wondered which model it is. There's a Thorn headbadge, and a Reynolds 531 sticker on the forks, but no other decals I can see. The Rohloff has the internal gearbox with cablestops on the brake posts.

Looks like a Raven Sport Tour, probably 537L. The colour and lack of stickers suggest a respray.

I'd agree with geocycle that it looks like a Raven Sports Tour, I think that's the only Raven with the brakes on the back of the fork, but it was possibly always that colour. Thorn included a stealth black version for a while, I don't thing I've seen one (maybe because it is that stealth) but there was one advertised here a couple of years ago:

Thanks very much!
It does look like that's it.
i'm just in the early stages of thinking about a new bike, and that one is probably too small, plus it's miles away from me.

Ah yes it’s black, for some reason it showed as dark purple on my screen. Thorn did also offer a low decal option as well.
In terms of size, if it is the 537L I have one and am 5’9” to give you a ballpark idea.

Thanks again, geocycle.
I'm about 6'.
Is there a geometry chart for this model? I came across some information, but the frame size details were in a PDF which didn't download for me.

Hope the attached pdf is readable, size matrix for Raven Tour and Sport Tour,

Alternatively, here’s a screen shot of just the Sport Tour matrix, maybe too blurred..

Thanks very much, Tony - that's great!
