Hi folks.
I'm back on 2 wheels after 10+ months off with cancer and chemo.
First off, many thanks for all kind words posted here and off forum.
They made such a difference and my recovery easier.

Second, please excuse the mundane picture*. It was taken a mile from home when I renewed a geocash I own.

My Raven was serviced last week and now running perfectly.

Once again, it's good to be back in the fold.

* Pictures to follow when I'm back home to reduce them in size.

A pint of stout, is that pint 20 oz or 16 oz?  In USA it is 16 oz.  But Google also tells me that ounces in USA are different than UK ounces.  I choose to be ignorant of more details than that.

Clearly, a case where being willfully ignorant is the wise choice. Just enjoy your pint of stout, regardless of its volume. (Which is 20oz in UK)

If you enjoy cider, the offerings in UK are exponentially better than what's generally available in US or Canada. And French cider! Ooh la la!

Looking to give this away. Came with a second hand Thorn I purchased last year.

Does not come with the key. Maybe someone on this forum can make use of it. I would ask to cover the PP cost using Royal Mail, around £5 within UK. Or collection from E3, east London.

SJS item: Ortlieb Lockable Rack Adapter - E174: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/carriers-racks/ortlieb-lockable-rack-adapter/

I recently contacted SJS about a replacement key -- they are available for about £5 from Ortleib, but the number on the key must be known to order. I assume then that keys are specific to each rack, making this item not much use as a lockable rack, but maybe someone could use it just for the carrying function.

Still available.

For many years,SJS Cccles carried a variety of bespoke brackets to fit bottle dynamos to these bosses. Still do!...

Some of us who run standard or dyno hubs use the threaded sockes to store spare bolts/machine screws. George (mickeg) used his to store spare SPD cleat bolts, as I recall. I do the same. On a spare pair of forks fitted to another bike, I used the bracket to secure a B&M USB charging unit. Very tidy, it looked made for the task! On another Thorn fork, I am in-process making a spork mount to go on those same bosses. Screws threaded in from the reverse side, wing-nuts with beeswax on the threads and a homemade stainless clip to guard against rattling loose.

... I thought that it would never be used...

Think of the possibilities!

Best, Dan.
