Blue Thorn Raven Tour for Sale
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:17:36 PM »
This is not mine but its lost within the ebay listings, not indexed correctly under Thorn Bikes.  The size isnt listed but the owner is 5'11 so likely to be too big for me :( 

Listing.Item number: 250723899369

Starting bid is £500.  Bargain!

here's the link
seems a bit odd, only done 300 miles 4/5 years old, seller says 'not a bike person so don't know about technical info'
Might be selling it for someone else I guess?

It is being sold with it's original receipt so that is unlikely

Not likely to go for £500 though, worth keeping an eye on though.

I was wondering about it myself.  Is it possible to age a bike using the colour of the Rohloff hub?  When was the black one first sold?

Would it be worthwhile me buying this bike off ebay, getting a right size frame from Thorn and transferring the bits across?  Would i save significant cash over a new one?  This bike is currently at £560 on Ebay, a new RST is over 2 grand!

Comments welcome :)

UPDATE: The frame size on this is 537L  Will it fit someone who is 5'7 tall?
