Oh well ,@CarlP ,@GarryG ,@Fab Foodie ,I finally got round to doing something with the raleigh twenty i bought in back end of october last year,
( no point in rushing is there) ,
i cut an old pair of mountain bike handlebars in half to make part of the stem, decided on butterfly bars, rummaged about for brake levers ,brookes saddle, found a new three speed shifter, i just need to change the white gear cagle for a black one and its ready for the off , here it is......

Its surprisingly very comfortable

We really do need to have an old small wheeled shopping bike convention. One of my clubmates has just done a peachy restoration on a Peugeot shopper.
Having said that .... the BSA is rubbish to ride compared to the Brompton!
.... but I love it just the same .....

I would be up for that deffo, although i am booked for spinal surgery on the 5th may so depends on recovery time, I should be right for summer if all goes to plan ( fingers , toes and eyes firmly crossed).

@GarryG , do you still have your twenty or did you sell it ???

 

[GarryG]

Still have half of it, thinking of getting another. Been busy recently with work, and have had to search for a replacement car, finally found one today, so not been on much.

I'd be up for it if I can find another, at least I have a load of spares.
