Thorn Audax 26" wheel, 50cm

THORN AUDAX – 26” wheel, 50cm

I bought this bike second-hand for my wife about 6 years ago and it has served her well. However, now that she is more into cycling, we have invested in a new bike (with a ladies’ specific frame) for her and so this one has to go. I don’t know how old the bike was when we bought it, but it has been well looked after and is considered to be in good condition for its age. It has a few scratches and chips to the paintwork, the worst of which I have tried to show in the photos.

Measurements are as follows:

Seat Tube Centre-Centre 50cm
Top Tube    Centre-Centre 55cm
Chainstay Length   43cm
Standover Height   75cm
BB Height    25.5cm
Handlebar Height   86cm


The specification is as follows:

Thorn Audax steel frame and fork (serial # 699529CT)

Brakes    Shimano RX100
Brake Levers    Shimano RSX
Shifters    Shimano bar end
Rear Derailleur   Shimano LX
Front Derailleur   Suntour XC Pro
Chainset    Thorn 24/40/50 (165mm)
Cassette    Shimano 8-speed 12-28
Handlebar    ITM
Headset    Stronglight

Wheels 26”
Shimano LX hubs
Mavic X517 Rims
Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 1.25

The bike is sold without pedals as the buyer may prefer to fit his/her own. It has a ladies' saddle but I can change this if required.

Viewings welcome (we are near Taunton in Somerset) and I can email more photos if required. Offers in the region of £400.
The bike is advertised elsewhere.

A pretty bike, nicely presented, Richard. As for the chips, they'e the best kind, small craters that are easily touched-up almost invisibly with a spot of paint each. Shouldn't be a deterrent, I'd think.

Best of luck on the sale!

Dan.
