Thorn Sherpa 510S Satin Stealth BlackI need to sell this commuting bike because my partner and I have just had our first child.
The bike was purchased one year ago - I have the receipt. It is in very good condition as you will see from the photos, but for a few scratches on the crank arms and gear shifters. The bicycle is perfect for commuting, leisure cycling or touring and the 26 inch wheels mean it is more robust than the more usual drop handle-bar bikes with 700c wheels and can therefore be taken on light to medium off-road terrain.

http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/thornpdf/C ... Review.pdf for a comprehensive review. Please note that the RRP is now £1,250, rather than the figure quoted in this review.
The bike is to be listed on e-bay at 20:00 hrs on 08.06.11, for a period of 10 days. Bidding starts at £750.00, so please contact me if you would like to have a look or if you wish to make an offer. The bike is advertised as follows:-

The frame measures 51 cm from the centre of the bottom bracket to frame seat-tube. I can deliver but will charge £35 for postage - clearly I will not do so should you chose to pick it up in person. I have set-out below the spec of the bike.
