I think Thorn used to wet paint their bikes but have moved to powder coating as it is harder wearing.

Personaly I prefer wet paint in terms of finish (powder coating being a bit industrial) but it is certainly more fragile which is not a good match for a touring/utility bike.

Well that XTC went for a complete fortune! Over £800. It's s Kevin Sayles one, but still...mad money!

Oh, I'm sorry, Jawine; I was sort of hoping it would fly under the radar so you could collect it at a bargain price. Well, the nice thing about eBay is there may soon be an even "better" one for less cash waiting just around the corner.

Best,

Dan. (...who tells himself the same thing when prices go to the moon...and back!)

And the other one went for £560. Suddenly I don't feel so silly that I spent £460 on an 10 year old bike  ;D

You used to be able to get a car for that  :P
