No probs....

Don't go mad, just a token gesture.

Seems like a [EDIT] Raleigh Stowaway....

 

[EltonFrog]

Seems like a single speed Raleigh Stowaway....

No, its a three speed, SA '78. on the hub I think the frame is the same as the Twenty.

Just noticed the gear cable!!
20's don't fold, so the frame is the same as the Stowaway at the top of this thread :-)

Yes it looks exactly the same, I didn't know Twenties didn't fold, I thought they did one that did and one that doesn't, like the Kingpin.

A quick google suggests you're right!

I'm almost certain that this is a re-branded Raleigh Twenty Shopper/Stowaway.

Had a few over the years.

That first picture - I had one the exact spit of that one - twist grip, the levers on the folding bits, the colour. I picked up a similar one last year but it doesn't have the twist grip and the levers have a white plastic moulding on them. Not quite as nice, but nice enough

@CarlP It seems I have a Mixte to come and collect for @Hill Wimp in the next weeks (wekend of the 18/19 March if you're around)....I might have some space....
I'd be happy to give it a good home....

Have you bought @Hill Wimp a bigger shed?

Oops. TMN to HW

Can't find a pic of my Stowaway. Found some lovely pics of my Wisp though

very nice, the Raleigh, BSA, Triumph, twenty etc are all the exactly the same frame , whether they be folders or non folders, just different badging,

@CarlP ive not seen those lights for a while, looks like only thing missing is the pletscher rack.
