Raleigh 20 geometry

urbanwriter said:

Does anyone here have the 'facts and figures' for a Raleigh 20 -
wheelbase, head and seat-tube angles, BB height, 'effective' top-tube
length, perhaps effective trail? I've Google'd to no avail...

I've got one at work awaiting reco for sale, if I find the chance next
week I'll measure it up for you.

Cheers

Joel

The link below is, unfortunately, for a modern consumer-level Raleigh
mountain bike. I'm in search of the details for the 1960 - 70 Raleigh
folders with 20" wheels. Or, even better, the non-folders.

I've had two over the years, and both, yes, both, had been 'pinched'
between a car and the garage wall.

But I'm still hopefull

Ah okay, you're looking for Raleigh 'Twenty' geometry.

I'll see if I can find a measure tape and protractor to measure mine with.
Probably this weekend.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror,
murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci
and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had
five hundred years of democracy and peace -- and what did they produce?
The cuckoo-clock.

Though thinking more on it, you might get a better faster response by mailing
Sheldon Brown. He has quite a bit of info on the Twenties, and could probably
measure one of this for you.
