Title: Thorn Raven Tour 2nd-hand buying tips
Post by: jahwalla on March 06, 2010, 07:00:55 PM

Hi there,

I came accross an ad for a 2nd-hand Thorn Raven Tour, so I went for a test ride. The bike is solid as a house, well maintained. The Rohloff hub produces quite some noise (serial # +50.000) I guess some hub noise is common?
I've been using a American Eagle Atlanta frame for the last couple of years, mainly for back country traveling.  The Atlanta is pretty worn, and seriously damaged near the bottom bracket.

Could a Raven tour be a good substitute?

Here's the link to the ad http://link.marktplaats.nl/326565760 (http://link.marktplaats.nl/326565760) okay I know it's all in Dutch but it'll give you an idea?

last but not least; would 1500 euros be a good price for this bike?

experiences,ideas,tips welcome

thanks

cheers

jos
