 I had some spare money at the time so the bike was top spec.

It really hasn't been used very much - less then 300 miles.  It has had 3 annual oil changes but hasn't been used for the last 3 years.

I don't know if the tyres need replacing because of age and lack of use.

It has a couple of very small nicks which need a bit of pin-point cleaning up and touch-up.

It has been great fun with my kids - but it was overkill, probably and now the kids are too big for it.

My children were very comfortable on it when they were 6 years old.

If anyone wants to talk to me about it, please respond to this post.  The bike is in North London and you can view it.  I could get it couriered to any part of the country if someone wanted to buy it on the basis of the description.
I can take photos and send them to anyone who is interested

It seems to be the same model as the "large and Small" one - same colour too - as featured on page 19 of this brochure http://www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/ThornRavenTwinBroHiRes.pdf
