I know many on here have Bromptons and I've seen a few Raleigh Twenties and Dawes Kingpins as well. Do we have any others?
I must admit I love small wheeled bicycles. So practical and considerably more usable than many realise and something about riding one will always put a smile on your face. I own three - a 1971 Raleigh Twenty (actually one of the Dublin built models) which has been handed down through various family members over the years until it came to my sister and then to me. I restored it about twelve years ago. I also own a basic three-speed Brompton and a slightly tatty 1974 Austrian-made Puch Pic Nic which actually rides great on the flat until you try a bit of serious climbing and you find it's quite flexible in a way the R20 and Brompton aren't. The Puch lives in my hall cupboard and I do occasionally ride it or lend it to visits on the rare occasions when I have ones.
I'd love to have a Dawes Kingpin, a Moulton and a Royal Enfield Revelation at some point.
