[jags]

Well it's finally here my lovely new Thorn Audax 853.
its a cracking frame well pleased  not far off the size of my lovely Raleigh so the fit should be spot on.
but alas i can't get it built up for a while i need new drop bars and stem and a lot of spacers.
i sent Dan a load of photos sorry about Quality but its from my phone.
john gave me new sks mudguards new thorn seat post and all the bolts i need .john i can't thank you enough fair play to you rest assured it came to a good home and will see lots of irsh roads.
andy blance sure done a cracking job designing this  frame i cant wait to try her out....
happy days are hee again.

jags.
CLASS.

I'm on my way out the door for an eye-doctor's appointment and will post the photos when I get back. Nothing has come through in the way of photos yet...

All the best,

Dan. (...who is just delighted for you!)

Here we go, ported over from Facebook...

I see it has already made itself comfortable on the soft leather chair. Easy life ahead for this one! 

All the best,

Dan. (...who is glad you still have your guitar)

[jags]

Now there's a handsome fella, as well as a purrrrty bike! It's making me feel patriotic - all red, white and blue!  

Can't wait to see it all come together. Build it and use it well, Anto. It'll be a source of great pride as well as a great ride.

BTW You won't need that "placeholder" bike much longer, by the sound of it (not suggesting you get rid of it or anything... There's no such thing as too many bikes!  )

What a summer you're going to have, Anto! Congratulations on your new baby.

Hey Anto!!

Great news... I kept telling you the Audax was more your style than a Club Tour...

I'm looking forward to reading the next instalment.

Cheers,
