I,m approx. 5 feet 5 if that helps with sizing.Reynolds 969 tubing with 531 double crown forks, with all the usual braze ons. Makes a cracking stable touring bike when loaded up. There's no pedals fitted but I can throw in a pair of Wellgo platforms if you need to ride away.
£500 or nearest offer.

Hi

I'm new to all stuff Thorn, but know I want one

First question is where abouts are you?

And some detail stuff:

How old is the bike?
Did you have it new?
I'm struggling to find the dimensions, unless I'm getting it all wrong I can't see that as a current size on Thorn's website.
How tall are you? If it's not too personal what is you inside leg, and finger tip to finger tip measurement? That would give me some idea how it might fit.

I'm sure I'll have some more questions but let's see where these take us.

Many thanks
Barry

The frames about 2 and half years old, which ive owned from new, the other parts are all younger.
I'm 5 feet 5 with a 30 inch inside trouser leg
Measured from the centre of the chainset bolt to the very top of the seat tube measures 47 and half centimetres.
Thorns website will give you all the dimensions.
Im located in Strathclyde in Scotland.
Ive also fitted a set of bear trap pedals.
Hope this helps


Cheers Raymy

Barry just flipped the bike over , just incase i was giving you a bum steer.
512 L stamped on BB.
C to C on seat tube is 445mm and this equates to the current 500L on the Thorn site.
When i measure my height with a tape measure i get 163cm which also falls into the 500L category.
Thorn may have re sized their new frames slightly

Cheers Raymy

Thanks for the prompt reply. It's much too small for me. Shame. Someone is going to get a nice bike.
