853 Thorn Ciclosportif- 48ST 53TT

Posted on
  • So- the gf really isn't getting on with the sizing of this, and as such- we're probably going to go off the peg for the simplicity.
    Full Centaur Groupset- except cranks which are stronglight.
    Wheels are Centaur on Open pro's
    853 througout with a set of Bob Jackson forks.
    Can come with a different stem- just let me know and I may have the right one- currently set up for "epic comfort"
    Mudguards, rack mounts- would make a lovely audaxer, light tourer, commuter, and it rides a treat.
    All in- I'd like £570.
    Better photos tomorrow, but for now:

  • Slightly better photo, more to come.

  • That looks ace, wish I could afford it for my better half, but alas, I have about £20 to my name at the moment.

  • Any of the stems in that album can go on it, and the stem thats on there offers about 3 different angles. It rides beautifully, but its about 3cm too long for the gf on the TT, sadly.

  • I love these - but this one is sadly too small for me - v nice bike GLWS

  • Thanks, it's deserving of an owner who'll ride it, it rides great, but is tiny.

  • How tall is your gf that the bike is too big for her?

  • 5'6...But its partially that she doesn't want it to fit, I think, as actually riding along it looks fine, and the saddle position is good- just her preference would be to lose 1" from the TT.

  • Hmm... My wife is 5'4" think the TT might be a bit of stretch for her.

    Thanks for the info.

  • No Longer for sale. Managed 35 miles over the weekend.
    " I love how light and fast it is."
    Win.
