Phew, just too small, I was nearly £2000 worse off!  Bargain to be had for someone.

It really is stunning.  Would be a shame to put mudguards, rack and dynohub on it!  I'm increasingly drawn to the mercury concept but cannot afford the list price.  Let's hope someone returns a bigger one at some stage.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Steve! It was "one of us" that got it, so now we get to pester you with questions and requests for photos, impressions, etc.

All congratulations on a most beautiful bike and a wonderful ride; so happy for you!

Best,

Dan.

I'm quite pleased it was a size too small for me, otherwise I would be currently deciding how to explain such a monumental purchase to my beloved. Especially as I already have a Thorn!

Enjoy, Steve, you lucky chap!

Just to say that I received the bike today and I am very very pleased...not perhaps the tourer I set out to buy but wow !!
I'll post some pics once I have figured out how to.
It seems a shame to put a rack/guards on the bike ...so will think more about this.
Again thank you to all who have responded to my enquiries in such a friendly and helpful manner.
Much appreciated.
Regards
Steve

Wonderful news, Steve! Look forward to seeing it.

I have written a small tutorial on posting photos to the Forum and posted it here: http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=4313.0

If you run into any trouble, give a shout or at worst, email 'em to me and I'll post them for you.

Best,

Dan.
