Title: Identifying Thorn Bike
Post by: Tom Collings on December 31, 2011, 01:32:47 AM

Hi there,

I was recently given a Thorn bike, but I have no idea what model it is. Could anyone please help me? I have attached a URL to some photo's of it. I think the 'fixedy' conversion was done after it was manufactured. Please let me know if I need more photo's or any more details.

Many Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom
I think you might need to take off the black tape to see if there is any information underneath.  Another thing to loo for is any numbers under the bottom bracket, if so take a note of them and give SJSC a quick call.
Good luck.

SJSC Tange fixedwheel/singlespeed frame sourced from Taiwan. Not designed as a Thornbike by Andy B as far as I'm aware, There was also a yellow CX / touring version with cantis. for derailleurs gears.
