Afternoon all.
Selling my Thorn Club Tour as I am looking to change change it for something more aimed towards expedition/off road touring.
Have really enjoyed this bike. Have owned it for just under a year and went on a tour of the Pyrenees on it this summer. It performed fantastically throughout the trip. Comfortable, reliable but still a lot of fun down the descents! As the video in this link shows, the bike leaves you feeling fresh even at the top of the Col d'Aubisque when others on lesser machines start doubting themselves!

Ideally I would like to keep hold of the Dura Ace bar end shifters. This could be discussed though.
I will be keeping hold of the saddle.
