Wanted: Thorn front rack
« on: March 14, 2014, 04:48:27 PM »
I'm looking to buy a Thorn front rack so, if you have one laying around that you don't want or don't use, please let me know.  Thanks.

Cheers,
Fritz

I have the "Low Loader" rack that came on my World Tour spec Sherpa in 2009 that is in the loft and never been used if that's any good? They come in 2 pieces that aren't joined together and require bosses on the front forks.

Hi,

I have a set of these thorn front low-loaders for sale, although maybe earlier version.

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/thorn-mkv-cro-mo-steel-low-loader-black-powder-coat-prod11576/

Bought in 2008 and used for about 3000 miles of touring; I am switching to a front rack (Surly) so I can put stuff on top as well at front.

They are sound and true but powder coat is damaged at contact points and on lowest edges so could do with  touch-up.

Let me know if you want to see pictures.
