Thorn Stirling frameset small/medium
« on: Today at 07:01:27 AM »
I have for sale a the above frameset bought a few years ago off what I believe was the original owner and built up but not used for much other than some trail riding around the local woods.
It is a hub gear specific frame and I have had Sturmey Archer 3 speed, Shimano Alfine 11 speed and a Rohloff 14 speed in it at different times. It is disc and V brake compatible and has an almost new bottom bracket which has done less than 100 miles, a Hope headset but the bearings are not as smooth as they should be, the original seat post and two side loading bottle cages.
The seat post tube is 400mm, top tube 560mm and the stem is 260mm, there is a some of corrosion on the forks and bottom bracket which should be visible in the photos. The forks are Magura and hold pressure.
For some reason the previous owner filed out the front wheel slots which I have shown but this did not affect the mounting of any of the wheels I had in it, make your own mind up whether this is acceptable to you before buying, Thorn do sell a rigid fork for this bike. I have washed it but there may be some dirt left in out of the way places.
I would prefer pick up from just outside Axminster in Devon and will post within the UK but I would need to get a box which might take a few days as I do not own a car, I would use Parcelforce and expect it to cost under £20 but will get an accurate price if someone wants it sent. The frame number looks to be 582SM07016 but the powder coating is quite thick so this might not be totally correct.

Price is £140.
