Excellent looking bike.
Looks fast.
Thanks for posting

Got to be the best colour - same as mine!!!

Does it go faster?? Well, yes, of course! Generally when the winds behind me and the gradient is going down!

Mostly though it just looks inspiring - and if it gets you out it's definitely faster than staying at home!

..and bar-end shifters too; none of that STI sorcery.

Hello
Apart from those massive handlebars, the bike looks great!
I had a red one and it absolutely went faster than any other colour bike I have owned. So ENJOY!
Regards,
John

Thanks all the friendly posts.  I had hoped to put the piccie straight on rather than a link…still learning.  Off on a mini tour (Oban, Arran, Islay, Colonsay, Oban - mainly ferries!) for a few days at the weekend.  All very exciting.

Very nice.  I ended up with two red thorns, both second hand and just red perchance, but I am very happy with them. My Audax started life as a drop bar but I changed it to flat bars and I'm loving it, as they say. hopefully photo attached.

And what I should also say is that I bought my red Audax frame and forks from Leftpoole, though it might not be the only one he has ever had.  here is a photo of my red and a friend's black Audax, on our jaunt from Perth to Buckinghamshire this year. Both frames bought from John Leftpoole! Hope you have a good trip.  Colonsay a family favourite with us, been more times than I can remember.  Great place.

Oh those flat bars!!! How about reading the small print? Drop bars for 'horses for courses'....

I really like the look of the flat bars on the bike. I took another ride out on my Dawes the other day and realised how much faster that bike is than my Sherpa, but again the shoulder started to hurt after 20 miles or so. I had to give the Dawes another try after riding the Sherpa for so many miles and I loved the way the bike kept the momentum up the hills, but hated the riding position. I guess I just don't like drop bars and an Audax like that would be perfect as a second bike!!
