About St John Street Cycles.

St John Street Cycles opened in 1983 and, since that date, it has evolved from a small shop,
supplying and maintaining cycles for the local population, into a large business catering for the discerning UK (and increasingly global) touring and tandem market.

The driving force behind this expansion into excellence is Director Robin Thorn. Robin was born into a cycling family and developed a keen mechanical sympathy at an early age. His present success is due to hard work, ethical trading and, above all, the ability to surround himself with a talented, intelligent workforce, every member of which is a dedicated cyclist.

The shop holds a massive stock of components, many of which are unobtainable elsewhere; also clothing and luggage, and every conceivable accessory... visit our website or phone for details.

Staff now number over 30, and the premises extend to over 1200 square metres of floor area. The top end of the Thorn solo range of bikes are manufactured in our own frameshop, on site.

During the many years in which we have specialised in supplying serious touring cyclists we have learned many things - from our own experiences and also from the feedback of thousands of customers. We have utilised this knowledge in the design of our own THORN range of touring cycles, tandems and frames. All THORN cycles have the clearances, braking systems and the many braze-ons commensurate with their intended applications. The geometries of the cycles vary sensibly and precisely with the size of the machine.
