I hope Bob enjoys the bike as much as I have after he's rebuilt it.
For Sale, in South Manchester
2005 (pre conical - last of the Lee Cooper UK built frames) Thorn Brevet size 571S
Artic Silver
Size 571S Suit 5'10' - 6'1"
This one was of the ebay specials thorn do from time to time, so although the frame and forks are brevet spec the finishing kit was whatever they had lying around the workshop at the time.
Brevet details here -
http://web.archive.org/web/20030810010815/http://www.sjscycles.com/thorn/700solobrochure/brevet.htmThe bike currently has
Shimano ultegra sti 3x9 shifters
Specialized BG saddle (new and unused)
Shimano hubs and wheels (20/24 spoke)
Shimano Tiagra 52/53/30 crankset
Shimano UN52 BB
Shimano Deore long cage rear mech
Shimano Deore 11-34 cassette
Shinano deep drop brakes
Whatever pedals I can find lurking in the garage
cheap alloy rear rack
good set of schwalbe marathon olus 25mm tyres, I have some fatter ones if you'd prefer. These are skinny day ride tyres.
However, pretty much every component is worn out and needs replacing, specifically
BB
Chain rings
chain
rear cassette
jockey wheels in rear mech
Wheel rims
I have priced this up and with some careful selective shopping will come to about £250 of parts
Hence the price range - you can have the bike as is for £200 and fix it up yourself or I can fix the bike to be in perfect condition and let it go for £450
The frame and forks are in excellent condition, the odd scratch but no dents.
Happy for you to come and inspect it and ride it
Genuine reason for sale, bought another bigger older brevet from here.
