  • Bloody hell that's nice! Funny I've seen a few Thorn bikes and they've mostly been of the fugly/functional variety imho but the last two I've seen have been stunners, I'd definitely go for the Cyclosportif if someone would only sponsor my bike habit

  • My XTC isn't too bad looking (fillet brazed, lee cooper, cut steerer) but there's some monstrous Thorns about. But I never found them offensively ugly as there's bags, lights and untold items hanging from the uncut steerers, the weird low TTs are to project ones jewels if you do come off, and the angels mean you never have toe overlap. It's like a JCB is ugly, there's a reason for it.

    However their classic Audaxes, Cyclosportifs have some *real*jewels and some of the tandems when they still made frames in UK are lovely too.
