A change of circumstances has prompted us to sell our Thorn tandem. The tandem has been carefully maintained and is in very good condition. We include two spare Rigida Andra 30 rims, supplied by St John Street Cycles, one of which has been drilled for the Rolhoff hub.
I am 5’ 10” and my partner (stoker) is 5’ 5”. We found that the Thorn size M/S was just right for us.
An adjustable stoker stem was replaced by a fixed stoker stem shortly after purchase but we kept the adjustable stem, and will include it, together with some tools specific to our tandem. We’ve also kept the Thorn and Rolhoff manuals, and will include them as well
