Hello! I'm in Australia (Melbourne) and have pretty much just started restoring my 'bronze green' Raleigh Stowaway. But she was in bad shape, so it's a full stripping back of the paint and starting over (black this time, sorry, 'originality' will suffer at my hands). It was my fathers bike brought over from England and has been in a shed since. This addiction with 20's isn't limited to yourself... they have this strange pulling power. Good luck with all of you new recruits I just have to think of a name for my to-be beautiful Raleigh.
Hi, I am a Canadian vintage folding bike collector and currently own 19 foldable bicycle from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Among my collection are a 1974 Supercycle Twenty and a 1981 Raleigh Stowaway. Both bikes are featured in my "virtual Canadian folding bike museum" you can visit at http://www.pistescyclables.ca/velos_pliants/index.htm Each folding bike is described in detail with many pictures, comments, specifications and more. The text is in French but the pictures are worth a thousand words! Congratulations for your blog and your very nice 1972 Twenty. Stephane Lapointe Sainte-Justine-de-Newton, QC
i'm a 1972 Raleigh Twenty named Medori, complete with silver bell and picnic basket.
I like long rides on the boardwalk and leather seats with springs.
