Because Thorn kindly provide this little playground for us, it seems only right to keep things either general or -- if a marque is featured -- Thorn-related and not a direct competitor to their models.
However, beloved member Jags once owned a Sherpa before selling it last year...and plans to get another as soon as possible.
Therefore, I've taken the liberty of posting his current ride and pride 'n' joy on his behalf, a much loved bicycle with the name altered just a bit. Because "Thorn" is a registered trademark, I can't label it outright as such, but I have done my best to make it a sort of indeterminate jumble and in quotation marks so if someone figures it out, it won't be mistaken for the real thing. In case they do, this is the "753" model they never produced.
That said, it is a corker of a bike, one of the prettiest I've seen, with classic lines throughout. The custom paintwork is especially nice, what with the faux flames trailing or leading the contrasting colors. Ride it in good health, Anto, and I hope you get another Thorn to replace the late, great Sherpa soonest!
All the best,
Dan.
