http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thorn-Brevet-retro-steel-road-bike-frame-Reynolds-531-tubing-/151182522326?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&hash=item23332e37d6
Used green Thorn Brevet. 53cm seat tube, 55cm top tube, with seatpost and square-taper BB in place. Scratched, but looks like a nice project. 531C frame. Horizontal TT. Threaded quill stem required. Probably dating from before 2003, as this is lugged rather than fillet-brazed as shown in brochure here: http://web.archive.org/web/20030810010815/http://www.sjscycles.com/thorn/700solobrochure/brevet.htm
Eyelets for a rear rack and for mudguards all 'round.
Maybe jags' next Audax? Starts at £0.99 with no bids at present.
Best,
Dan.

can't see the photos. ::)

Hi jags!
No, unfortunately, the brochure photos didn't make the trip when the Thorn website was archived. Text is the best we can hope for in this case.
Doh! You meant the eBay link...which I forgot. :-\ Here 'tis: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thorn-Brevet-retro-steel-road-bike-frame-Reynolds-531-tubing-/151182522326?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&hash=item23332e37d6

oh man this is driving me nuts i have christmas and the daughters wedding in january, if i bid for that and win i'm in big trouble ,i seriously cant afford it but then again i cant not afford to take a chance. :-[ :'(

This frame might go quite cheaply. It's green (hmmm ...) and AFAIK has a threaded headset which not everyone wants.
-
i have my eye glued to ebay ;)

not long now until wait is over i'm still leader of the pack. ;)
-
ah just missed out in the last 10 seconds someone outbid me.
me little heart skipped a beat for a moment. ;D
ah well it wasn't to be makes me more determent than ever to but an audax.
-
Hard luck Jags, like you say it wasn't mean to be. I reckon there is an Audax with your name on out there somewhere, we'll keep an eye out for it.

Ah, what a shame, jags, but "better" will come along soon. I now you had a respray in mind if you'd won this one...there just may be a blue Audax just waiting in the wings. As Neil said, we'll keep eyes open for one that might work.
All the best,
Dan.

Get your daughter a nice Audax as a wedding present. I'm sure the gesture will be warmly received ;D Something blue and all that!!!
-
'Shame we can't offer "Likes" on posts as per Facebook, 'cos Ian's suggestion is brilliant!
I stand in open-mouthed awe at this obvious solution. A few men see with clarity while the rest muddle onward.
Well done.
Best,
Dan.

Awww too bad jags, but you will get your Audax, and there's a heck of a lot of people who read these boards will have a big smile on their face when you do. ;D
