Just bought a Thorn Club Tour on Ebay. Did I pay too much?

Thanks Moose!


The bike needed a damn good scrub & wash but it's in better condition than I was expecting and... IT FITS!
I'll have to measure the frame sometime, it seems to be almost exactly the right size for me, I don't have to stretch too far to reach the bars and I can easily get both feet flat on the ground standing over the top-tube.

Once I've put a proper saddle and pedals on it I'll post a photo for posterity.

excellent and an approving nod to mooseracer

Glad the bike fits - it was a pleasant surprise when you arrived and looked ok on it.

I just found out that if you look on the frame under the bottom bracket the framesize should be stamped on there....not that it matters so long as it fits you

I hope it gives you years of comfortable and reliable biking.

good buy ,I am having to put a new shorter stem on my recent bike.

I should ride a 54 cm but a 56 cm came up at 1/2 retail price so i snapped his hand off .Came with a 110 mm mm stem so fitting a 90 mm to see if that makes it ok , its a stretch and i know i can feel it a bit in my back.Push comes to shove its mint so i can ebay it if it does not fit.
