just picked it up , date on rear hub says 12-79, and its complete with rear child seat from the 70s (but not for long) brookes saddle is in good condition complete with little spanner bag , tyres are also in suprisingly good condition, its gone straight in the shed for now, i have an appointment with a spinal surgeon later , so it will have to wait for a clean up.

the guy who sold it has an exceptionally good condition stowaway for sale .......hmm.... must resist.


I had a Raleigh stowaway as a kid. It was a ghastly thing as I huffed and puffed failing to drag its astonishing weight along, looking enviously at my pals on their "racers" - with their 5 (or even 10) speeds, Weinman brakes which actually worked and half the weight. It was part of growing up learning that my Dad's recommendations (eg the raleigh) were usually complete bollocks. When it got nicked I bought a knackered old pub bike, drop bars with flat-bar brakes and still 3 speed and it was immeasurably superior to the Stowaway
