RST for a taller lad/lass
« on: March 07, 2013, 01:56:21 pm »
No pictures yet a great price reduction. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/thorn-raven-sport-tour-586l-brg-alfine-commuting-bike-new-prod31237/

Off to get legs stretched on the SJS bloodless limb extender!

Hmm addendum: It says out of stock but photo coming soon!

Ian,

Don't give up hope. That RST with Alfine may yet fit you. Or vice-versa.

Amazon sells leg stretchers here: http://www.amazon.com/Sangmoosa-Leg-Stretcher/dp/B004GJNR38
...and a "pro" model is listed but "currently unavailable", likely sold-out to teams wishing to move their riders up a bike size for the coming Tour now EPO is out of fashion: http://www.amazon.com/TMAS-Pro-Leg-Stretcher/dp/B0000CA2P5/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

No doubt SJSC's model is better made and tailored to match desired frame size.

Best,

Dan. (...who may be running on too little sleep at the moment)

Oh, Ian...for desperate want of a Thorn Too Big, of course!  ;D

They make my eyes water, as well. Supposedly, they are a means to achieving greater flexibility for runners and such who have trouble stretching on their own. Such things were referred to as Racks in medieval times....

All the best,

Dan. (...who probably doesn't need to be that flexible in that plane)
