Bike identification
« on: Today at 11:59:40 AM »
I've seen this bike advertised and wondered which model it is.  There's a Thorn headbadge, and a Reynolds 531 sticker on the forks, but no other decals I can see.  The Rohloff has the internal gearbox with cablestops on the brake posts.

Looks like a Raven Sport Tour, probably 537L. The colour and lack of stickers suggest a respray.

I'd agree with geocycle that it looks like a Raven Sports Tour, I think that's the only Raven with the brakes on the back of the fork, but it was possibly always that colour. Thorn included a stealth black version for a while, I don't thing I've seen one (maybe because it is that stealth) but there was one advertised here a couple of years ago:

Thanks very much!

It does look like that's it.

i'm just in the early stages of thinking about a new bike, and that one is probably too small, plus it's miles away from me.
