THORN RAVEN TWIN MARATHON TANDEM 8A M/S+
« on: February 16, 2014, 06:00:20 PM »
This tandem is in brilliant condition having done less than 500 miles from new (2009). Only selling as my stoker can no longer ride tandem, love to keep it and simply look at it!
It is a standard 8A M/S+. http://www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/ThornRavenTwinBroLoRes.pdf With slight adjustments to the seat-post and seat both front and back could accommodate different sized individuals either side of those marks.  I am 5.9 and my wife 5.6. I can easily go on the back/stoker
Spec below which I had personalised:
L/S Raven Double Marathon frameset with S&S couplings, Cobalt Blue Pearl metallic
Rigida Andra 30 tungsten carbide rimmed 26" wheels
Rohloff Speedhub 500/14  14 speed gear hub
Panaracer Pasela tour guard rigid bead tyres with kevlar/aramid protection
Thorn Raven 175mm Front crankset
Thorn Raven 165mm Rear crankset
Thorn Mk1 bar front  MkII comfort rear
Ergon ergonomic handlebar grips
Ergo control bar ends
Thorn stems front and rear
USE sprung  seatpost rear
SKS Mudguards
Zefal  Frame fit pump
Cateye cordless computer
Busch and Muller Dynamo
Profile Design bottle self adjust bottle cages x 4
Ceramic and rigida rimmed brake pads
Shimano Deore XT front hub
Shimano XTR  brakes levers and cantis  front and rear
Shimano SPD pedals PD A530 REAR PD M520 FRONT
Thorn Expedition rack front and rear
Brooks B17 Special Male/Female saddles[ can have alternative Untake women’s and Specialised men’s and reduce £100-pefectly comfortable, Brooks not everyone’s cup of tea]
S&S coupling spanner
Rohloff oil change kit
Rohloff lubricant for SS couplings
 Further info:
The S&S couplings take 2mins to undue and connect. There is no loss in rigidity[quite the opposite!] and they make storage and transport a whole lot easier.
Accepted on trains as it comes apart [ I know- have done it]
If you want a brilliant  tandem basically as new, this is it.
PRICE: £1950
Post via courier in Thorn Tandem box included in price

We are wondering if this bike is still available, looks like what we've been looking for.
