Current Projects chat and miscellany

The Thorn Sherpa for my epic tour of South America have arrived;

extraordinary amount of thanks goes to andy.w not just for driving 45 miles to pick up the bike but also pack them very carefully and posted it for me.

Sounds like an awesome trip! You're going to have to excuse my ignorance though - what is particularly special about this bike? I have an old MTB in a shed that I'd struggle to tell apart from this. I assume it's got good bits, but apart from that?
