Looking forward to your report! I have admired the Thorn bikes plenty, and that one in particular. I'm not tall enough that a 700c really is needed, and initially was dismayed to find that most of what worked for me was 26" bikes. Then, I bought a used 26" GF, played around with the setup some, and now am not sure I can be totally comfortable WITHOUT going to another 26" tire bike....but it seems a little silly for me to purchase another one, when there is really nothing wrong with the one I have...aside from its stupendous weight at 35# and the preference to have it freshly powder coated given its wear and tear. Does anyone in their right mind spend the money to do a complete tear down, powder coat, and re-build of a frame that was entry level when it debuted?
