Bought from Thorn in March 2017. This is a Rohloff equipped, hand built bike. It’s a strong, reliable, silky smooth, comfortable bike which can be used as a
speedy modern sports touring bike or as an
outstandingly capable gravel bike. It is an absolute joy to ride. Cycling Weekly rated it 10/10
It has been ridden for ca.1,000 miles and is in outstanding (virtually as new) condition and has been regularly serviced and meticulously maintained. The only sign of wear is on the rear rack which has some minor scuffs from pannier rubbing.
The bike is located in Padstow, Cornwall and I would prefer it to be collected. I will however have the bike professionally boxed and couriered if required. I’m happy to answer any questions and any inspection is welcomed.
The frame size is 610L so it’s for the taller rider.
No expense was spared on the build (£4,000+) which is detailed below.
