eBay: Red Thorn Sherpa 485L w/interesting provenance
« on: July 06, 2012, 04:02:29 AM »
Not mine.

Intriguing listing for a Thorn Sherpa 485L; seller says he was "'Assistant to the Directors' at SJS (Thorn) Cycles for two years after graduation" and considers Robin a personal friend. Many nice, clear photos, and an interesting write-up and perspective on bikes in general and Thorns in particular. This was apparently a paint-flawed example that was built up with a mix of shop-worn parts and new parts, then stored. SKS mudguards, Blackburn rear rack, bar-ends and a nice, honey Brooks B.17. Seller prefers a local sale but will consider shipping, but warns postage would be steep as the bike will be carefully packed for shipping -- and he really doesn't want to ship it. Test rides welcomed in decent weather.
