Blue Thorn Raven Tour for Sale

[Bowland Rider]

This is not mine but its lost within the ebay listings, not indexed correctly under Thorn Bikes.  The size isnt listed but the owner is 5'11 so likely to be too big for me  

Listing.Item number: 250723899369

Starting bid is £500.  Bargain!

here's the link
seems a bit odd, only done 300 miles 4/5 years old, seller says 'not a bike person so don't know about technical info'
Might be selling it for someone else I guess?

Stolen goods?   Otherwise, seems a bit a of a bargain!

It is being sold with it's original receipt so that is unlikely

[rualexander]

Not likely to go for £500 though, worth keeping an eye on though.

I was wondering about it myself.  Is it possible to age a bike using the colour of the Rohloff hub?  When was the black one first sold?

Haven't Rohloff hubs got a serial no. ?

5'11" with 82cm standover...must have short legs.  Seat is really high in photos.

Would it be worthwhile me buying this bike off ebay, getting a right size frame from Thorn and transferring the bits across?  Would i save significant cash over a new one?  This bike is currently at £560 on Ebay, a new RST is over 2 grand!

Comments welcome

UPDATE: The frame size on this is 537L  Will it fit someone who is 5'7 tall?

More like 5"9' or an 83 standover
