The Thorn Sherpa is a 26" wheel touring bike and has been described as “the most durable, sweetest natured, derailleur-geared, go-anywhere, off the shelf touring bike, obtainable today...irrespective of cost” and “a superb luggage carrying derailleur bike”
The Sherpa is equally at home, whether commuting in badly surfaced city streets or on big adventures in remote places.
Size 485L. This fits a person from 5ft to 5ft 5in tall. The last photograph is a size table. Look at the third line down to get the measurements.

On ebay tonight but I'd rather sell it privately. I don't want to make Ebay any richer.
