That's a great looking bike you've got there Bill, well worth the effort you put into it.
It makes me a bit sad that Thorn discontinued such a nice bike which I was tempted to get at one time, and which is still so well loved by it's owners ... ah well, sometimes I do think "progress" isn't all it's cracked up to be ... unless they were to make a 650B version, how cool would a pair of Grand Bois Hetres on a XTC be?!?!?
Happy cycling Bill.
