Thorn Sherpa - XL for drops, needs assembly/work
« on: June 03, 2023, 09:46:02 PM »
I now have a Nomad Mk 3...

What you see is what you get (apart from the ladder).

Bought about 2010, in red, since powder coated. Largest size for drop h/b.

Happy to answer any Qs.
It is always better by bike!

Spec:

Shimano v-brakes, cartridge pads, but need replacing cause tension adjustment plastic has broken.
SKS 65mm for 2" tyres.
Schwable Mondial tyres (x4) all with life in.
SON old style hub dynamo with CSS rim. Plenty of life in it.
Halo Spindoctor rear hub, but freewheel is bust and you they don't make replacements - you can retro fit new bearings into old freewheel - but this is beyond me. I can include that in this sale.
Rear rim is fairly new, and lots of wear left in it.
Shimano LX 175 crankset, octalink bb, fair but marked, bb is useable (no play or noise).
Frame has been blasted and powder coated, but no top coat so it has some marks/discolouration. Mostly ok. A random RAL colour I chose.
The frame has lost its front bottle dynamo mount on fork, pump pegs, and rear canti-hanger - sorry, I thought it was for life!
Standard supplied FSA headset.
New microshift mb rear cassette, 9 speed.
Thumb/downtube shifters and friction front, 9 speed rear.
New front derailleur, shimano XT.
Stand
New thorn seat post
£350

I am near Cambridge.
