I converted my wife’s hybrid to an electric front hub some years back and had to file out the front forks from 9mm to 10mm to accept the emotor axle…..which meant the original wheel could not be refitted.   You might want to check what has been done to the red one to fit the emotor hub, as no doubt you still have the original wheel?

For pricing - I recently paid £700 inc delivery for a Raven Tour in good condition with nearly new Marathon tyres, chain and a tidy frame, with front and rear racks.  Just needed new brake cables and blocks and an oil change.  You will find Raven Tours at over £1000 on ebay but they do not seem to sell.

Hi. Just joined the group and first post. Reason is that I’ve inherited the responsibility of trying to get rid of my mum & dad’s Thorn bikes. Dad is too old to ride now so time for these two beauties to be passed on to the next adventurer. These Thorn adventure bikes are rather niche (in relative cycling terms) so thought this group is the perfect audience to find a potential buyer (or buyers) for these bikes. Both are 26” Raven Tour models, both fully rack mounted, Rolhoff 14spd hubs, XTR brakes, the red one has Brooks saddle and a battery front hub for extra umph. They’ve seen a few adventures around Europe and the UK so asthetically a little rough, but mechanically excellent. Size wise, the Red one would suit a smaller rider (~5’4”)  whilst the Green one will suit a medium rider (~5’8”).. Located in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Any interest would be much appreciated! Cheers, and happy adventures everyone!

Thanks all for your comments and sympathy.
Yes, it's a nasty feeling, and it's the first bike I've ever had stolen despite commuting by bike since I was 7!!  Clocking into my early fifties now.
Frame number was: CL580L1814
I had it registered on Bike Register, so I've updated it's status to Stolen.
I've also posted about it on the Bristol Cyclists Facebook group, and told various other people in Bristol in the cycling community to look out for it.
Yes, it was locked to a Sheffield stand in a fairly busy public place, during the day etc, so maybe carefully targeted.

Many, many thanks for the comments everyone. I visited Ellis Brigham in UK and had a great chat with one of the guys working there. He knew his stuff!
He thought that the air-filled mats were a significant improvement over foam-filled ones. He did blind me with science a bit re some insulating fabric that was now being used on the base of mats.
He was not surprised that my previous mats had delaminated so it might be a known issue in the industry. I have redress re my last mat so that’ll cushion the purchase of a new one; they are a bit more expensive.
I haven’t selected one yet but Thermarest, Sea to Summit and Nemo are brands in the frame.
Lastly, I was impressed by how small the mats can be folded down to. Perhaps half the size of my current mat and significantly lighter.
Thanks again.

A bit of reading around suggests that the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite NXT comes highly recommended ( not cheap btw)

This has become the standard choice in the long-haul bicycle travel community, because it is very light, and it rolls up so small that it can be carried in a feed bag. However, it is comparatively fragile, and punctures are regarded as inevitable every few months.
