Yes, BONKERS!

New member.

As of today I have 4 Raleigh 20's and 2 Dawes Kingpin's among others.
Have I got a virus?

The Dawe's are K18's, the 'junior' versions.
I'm wondering how scarce these are, as I can find very little online.
Are they worth preserving?

Not a virus, but it sounds like you've caught some small-wheeled bug!

There is a couple of threads about Kingpins and 20's over on the vintage bike section.

Here's a thought, an idea I haven't seen before....
often I've read folk don't like the original 'Twenty' bottom bracket.
As these frames are brazed, it shouldn't be rocket science to sweat in a more suitable unit.
While you're at it, do the same with the steering tube.
One at a time.

You're drifting into the realm of frame building now.

Since your tinkering in the nether regions, you could fit some Campy cranks, lace a nice Miche hub into the back wheel and fit some Nuovo Record derailleurs, that would put those Brompton guys in their place... but thats just me.
