Now sold, to a guy who I think will make much better use of it than I have been able to.

Hello,

I am writing from the USA.

1)  Is your bike for sale yet?

2)  I am not familiar with the carrying capacity of a Raven Tour.  What maximum weight are the front rack and fork rated to carry? 

3)  Also, what maximum weight are the back rack and frame rated to carry?

4)  What is the standover height of the frame at mid tube?

5)  At the time that your bike was built, which Thorn frame was the most rugged?  Was the Raven Tour Thorn Cycles' "Adventure Touring" bicycle?

6)  What is the virtual top tube C to C?

Thanks for your information.

Sincerely,
Sluicing
