After 18yrs at Thorn and 25 in the bike trade today is my last day.  From Monday its the start of a new career in the Rail industry. Its been a pleasure reading all your comments and discussions over the years.

So happy trails!

p.s. be nice to Dan he works very hard for little reward, without him the forum wouldn't be the place it is!

If it means that the trains will run as smoothly as my Thorn bike I welcome the move.
Thanks for your help and advice over the years.

Good luck Dave and thanks for all your work and help. We met you a couple of times in the workshop on our visits and your knowledge of all things Rohloff is legendary.
You will be missed at Thorn and by all of us here. It won’t be the same without you.

All the best Steve & Neeta
