Post by: Danneaux on June 17, 2013, 02:13:01 AM

Not mine.

Hi All! Starting bid is up there at £1,000.00 for a bike that is described as 6 years old with ~15,000mi on the clock, a couple dents on the top tube, and some rust on the head tube. Black, with a pretty basic build except for "tungsten carbide" rims, XTR v-brakes and Swisstop pads. Recent Rohloff oil change, available for local viewing and test ride; collection only. Listed as a 611S.

Hi All!

Though I have no interest in this bike and don't know the seller, several of you have contacted me to ask the dimensions of the 611S Raven Sport Tour. They are as follows:
• Virtual seat tube length c-c: 611mm (X-large)
• Actual seat tube length: 521mm
• Slope (611-521): 90mm
• Virtual top tube: 590mm
• Chainstay to center of eccentric: 428mm
• Seat angle 72°
• Mid-tube standover: 831mm
• Standover height @ front of top tube: 872mm

All figures from Thorn Raven Tour & Raven Sport Tour brochure, Issue 4a, Summer 2011, pg. 10.

Best,

Dan. (...yes, one for the taller rider)
