• Hello good people of LFGSS.
    Not sure if it’s OK to sell a non fix/ss on here?
    One of your members who was interested in my bike suggested I put it on here before Gumtree/Ebay
    He may have mentioned it on the ebay finds section???
    It was too big for him in case you're wondering.

    So my trusty beast that has taken me from Ireland to Indonesia is up for sale.
    My cycling days ended in Bali with a still incurable arse problem and the bike was dismantled and put in a box and we both came home in the summer of 2014. It has sat in the loft of my Mums house ever since whilst I continued to galavant. I have finally returned and found a bit of time to sell it.

    It's a Thorn Nomad (Mk1 / Mk1.5?) it's definitely not a Mk2
    What this means is it's the old frame and forks used on the pre Rohloff Mk1 but with Thorn dropouts and little extras designed to be used with a Rohloff hub.
    Unlike the Mk2 its not "designed" to be used with suspension forks and therefore doesn't have the strengthening gusset on the fork end of the frame.
    I think the geometry of the frame is also slightly different from the Mk2 so Mk2 sizing from the Thorn website will have no correlation with mine.

    If you’re looking for a showroom condition bike you're out of luck. This bike has seen some life but considering what it’s been up to its escaped pretty much unharmed.
    It has plenty of scuffs but no dings or dents and no scratches that have gone down to the metal.
    With a bit of TLC and mainly time you could have it looking good as new.
    I just don't have the time.

    If someone wants to buy it from me this weekend I will sell it for £1800.00 cash with all the included accessories, spares and tools mentioned below.
    After this weekend I’ll spend as much time as I have free getting it in a more presentable shape and will put the it on ebay/gumtree with a starting bid of £2000.00
    By all means contact me to see if I’ve actually got round to doing it as that could be a while.
    If you wanted to ride it home it would need a new rear brake cable or the present one would need to be un-seized. The chain will get you home put I’d put it on top of the list for replacing.
    Otherwise it’s perfectly rideable. Brooks saddle has seen better days, but tires are good with plenty of tread and gears perfect.Its got spd pedals installed.
    The hooter works, which is probably the most important thing and if honked whilst shouting Arse Cream! in Sri Lanka will get kids running from far and wide asking for your creamy goodness.
