Aw thanks. I adore this bike, so anyone saying she's cute makes my day!!! I love the fact she's a Thorn as well - a good, solid British brand. I've found that people who know a bit about bikes get quite nostalgic about Thorns, there's a lot of goodwill towards them.
The panniers are only
Halfords' best, which, with a bin liner inside have done us proud, topped off by a rack top bag, which just velcro's on. Lots of space for shoes though
Jags, I have to admit I bought Liesl second hand and the lady I bought her from was a much more knowledgable cyclist than I am. I believe I have mavic wheels on which I've just put Spesh Armadillo tyres. Hanging my head in shame, I'm not ENTIRELY sure what an groupset is (don't chuck me out of the forum) but if you mean the gear systems it's ultegra.
If that doesn't answer your questions, let me know and I shall go and have a look in the garage. I don't think someone with my limited knowledge deserves such a lovely little bike...but they'll have to catch me first!!
