I got 34mph out of my mum's Raleigh 20 one time.
I've been told the Twenty doesn't have a proper ball race headset bearing, but a plain bush that can wear. Unless you've got a metalworking lathe in your workshop (I have) the Kingpin makes far more sense as a fixer-upper. None of those shopper bikes were built for speed, comfort or looks. They were just what your mum used to nip into town on.
I even moved house on mine from Willesden to Chertsey at 14 ‘cos there was no room in the van.
I'm impressed if you did that trip on a shopper bike! That's a fair old slog of a distance.
Get your braces caught on a passing lorry?I got 34mph out of my mum's Raleigh 20 one time.
I've got this and I can't get on with it at all.
