Do people buy Thorns in January?

[hedgepig]

Hi
I have decided to sell my Club Tour, but I wondered if it would be a bad idea to try and sell it at this time of year.
It's in good nick but essentially the wrong size for me. I would like it to find a good home.
all suggestions welcome

I've just bought a Thorn - a used ExxP from SJSC.  The shop were pretty busy and commented that 'everyone is spending their christmas money'  Tis a good bike - I'm sure you'll find a buyer.

Waiting for the sun to come out so I can get a photo, but I think I'll press ahead.
Thanks

A lovely Nomad has just sold on ebay for a shade over 1k. The buyers are out there! Plus you'll be able to order your new Thorn in time for the better weather, which will surely be along anytime soon!

It is Thorn Club Tour British Racing Green 517 S (21inch)
I turn out to be a 19 inch, having had to consult about my back-strain.

I got it Xmas 2012
Photos with full spec to come....

Time of year would have zero influence on my decision to buy a bike.....If anything it tends to be a good time as they TEND to be cheaper......
