I managed to pick one up for GBP10 a while back for a project and have two Dawes Kingpins too.
I expect you've checked our Sheldon Brown's Raleigh Twenty page at
sheldonbrown.comraleigh twenty.htmlOpen ↗
but Guy Bouchard at cybertechs.qc.catwenty.htmOpen ↗
is worth a look too. There are others of course such as Roy Bird at
hpv.on.camyhpvrb.htmOpen ↗
It seems that the US and Canada are big fans of converting these old bikes into modern commuters.
Reesycle at mysite.freeserve.comReesycle Home.htmlOpen ↗ offers a British alternative.
Good luck with project.
Trealaw Boy.
PS: Don't agree with you view of the War I'm afraid!
Lenny Taylor said:I felt a need to brag about the Raleigh Twenty I just purchased. It's going to need a lot of
tender loving care to get into shape, but it is all original and is all there. It looks like it
sat in someone's garage for the past thirty years without being ridden. I rode a Raleigh RSW
Compact when I was in High School (34 years ago!!) and have nothing but fond memories of
it. So when this became available on eBay at a reasonable price, I jumped on it.
I'm debating on putting it to original, or updating it with a Shimano 7-speed hub. I definitely
need to update it to aluminum wheels with better brakes. It's a charming little beast though.
Forgive my giddiness. It's a nice break from the thoughts of war. (My nephew is serving in the US
Marines, currently in Iraq moving north.) For those of you in the group in the UK, you can't begin
to imagine the good will that your Prime Minister has garnered for England. France on the other
hand can go it alone the next time they need some help. [censored] on em!
