Thorn eXXp

[Timothy Smith]

Does anyone reading this group have experience with this bike, or the
eXp R?

I'm from California, but am thinking of getting one (seriously
expensive, I know) for a trek down the Rocky Mountains next summer.
Seems like the ideal bike for it.

I know the Rohloff hub--had one on a Bike Friday. Good points and bad
points, but at least no rear mech to break off.

How are Thorn to deal with as a company?

Thanks.
