Title: Rohloff Down
Post by: wheezy on March 29, 2012, 02:25:15 PM

This guy was competing in the round the world cycle race, and was taken out by a truck in the US. Is it a Thorn?

Think the bike was a Thorn XTC. Try the CTC forum for details of the rider's fortunate escape and the bike's misfortune.
