Happy ending

[Webswonder]

There were quite a few comments and recommendations when I advertised my 2018 Nomad Mk 2 for sale earlier this year. ( https://thorncyclesforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=15577.0 ). I marked it as SOLD but never explained the ending to the story. I enquired with Thorn about a Pendix conversion for my Thorn Raven. They offered me a part exchange deal involving the Nomad and I accepted it. The Pendix was fitted a couple of weeks ago and after a few rides I am really impressed. I have all the benefits of a correctly sized Thorn frame with 14 Rohloff gears plus configurable levels of assistance from the Pendix when I want it. Riding without power is little different to riding with a few kg in my panniers. Riding with power is like having a bionic boost to my very elderly legs. That assistance really opens up possibilities living in hilly west Wales. Thanks Thorn and thanks Pendix!

WOW! What a wonderful, storybook ending to your journey and quest!

Made my day to read this!

Best, Dan.

Happy to hear you found an appropriate solution and that you can continue to enjoy your Raven!

iirc you were thinking of selling a Mercury too. I will DM you about this as I may be potentially interested.

Hi Pandanroll,

Thanks for your interest. I've decided to keep the Mercury. My plan was to have one pedelec bike and one "pure" Thorn, which is what I now have. Despite the rear cable disk brake, which I can never get to work as well as I'd like, The Mercury is a gorgeous beast.

Regards,

Jeremy
