Thorn are a good bike manufacture in the UK and they make good solid bikes in the UK. Never heard of a problem with their bikes and they do design it with the rolloff hub as part of the equipment. It is that solid bit that worries me, even though I ride a Heavy offroad machine. For what they are- They are expensive over here, but if you want a reliable machine then this is one of them.
