Almost new Thorn Brevet frame
(frame only - pictures of built up bike just for demonstration purposes)
I bought the bike in 2008 new but "shop soiled" - condition was pretty much as can be seen on the photos @
http://picasaweb.google.de/jumble4sale/ThornBrevetFrame#Unfortunately the frame is too big for me - I only cycled it 100-200 km max. (to and back from work, city only). It would be suitable for a rider between 5ft 5in and 5ft 9in, according to Thorn's description.
The paint job on this frame is pretty bad (see pictures) - but this was already the case when I bought it new from SJS directly.
The frame is size 532S - which means that the frame size is 53.2 cm, and the top tube is short. It can be built up with drop or straight bars (as can be seen on the pictures).
The main frame is made of Reynolds 525 tubing; the fork is Reynolds 531 tubing.
This is a light steel frame, that is suitable for light touring or audax. The max. tires size it will take with mudguards is ~32mm. It might be possible to go one size up without mudguards, but I never tried this.
The bike was built up as a 9speed when I bought it; I used it as an 8speed. I think it would take 10speed as well, but not 100% sure.
For sale is the frame only, plus the Orbit head set:
Size: Size 532S, Seat tube measures virtual equivalent 53.2cm, Top tube measures virtual equivalent 53cm, to suit a rider approx 5ft 5in to 5ft 9in, standover at midpoint of top tube 770mm.
Headset: FSA Orbit XL2 silver alloy 1 1/8" Ahead type headset
Colour: Finished in Arctic White with blue decals
The frame is located in Dublin, Ireland. I would be willing to post it - but buyer would be welcome to view it and collect it in Dublin.
Happy to answer any questions.
