Blogging again

Posted by raleightwenty on March 11, 2012 at 7:50 PM

I came to realise that it had been some 18 months since I bothered with a blog posting - sorry!

 

In the mean time I have been doing a few things. I updated several of the articles, added photos, added new articles and general housekeeping. I had come to neglect the site during 2011 as I had become busy with starting up at Campion College (which reminds me, there are still a few errors to fix on this site!)

 

Anyway, you will find the site is now being properly maintained. There is still an active membership and I no longer run this as a one-man-show. I have several members from the US and UK helping me to ensure that all runs smoothly and I am much appreciative of their help.

 

After a long rest in pieces in my garage, "RADAR" (also known as "Raider") is slowly recieving more parts for the rebuild. A new bottom bracket spindle courtesy of Kurt from "The Headbage", as well as new cranks, those wheels I built nearly 2 years ago and donor parts from another Twenty. Another weekend at home should see it finished, and somewhat "uglified" - I shall be fitting brown mudguards to uglify the bike as much as humanly possible since my last brown Twenty was stolen from outside my dormitory last year.

 

Keep in touch, keep coming back to see the new developments here at raleightwenty.webs.com

I advise a beautiful LOCK and a Beautiful Bike. It is hard to make a Twenrty truly ugly. Good Luck. Ed

I have no problem posting pictures in the Gallery, but the Post on Comments does not work 70 percent of the time. Ed trying to respond with little success.

Thanks for the work Martin. Too bad some problems appear with the posting. Temporary problems it says, semi permanent more likely. Ed

Martin... I spoke too soon as I can respond here but cannot write anywhere else on the site.

Will not allow text input.

If you're interested. Peter @ Peter Bundy Cycles recently completed the bb work on my 1973 English Stowaway. I got to meet his dad Jim too, who still works in their shop at Riverwood. Came across them after reading abit about their road and track history and custom built frames. They narrowed down the bb shell to 68mm and also re-threaded it to english size too. Done in two days at a cost of AUD$150. I was happy to pay the money as I love my bike. Was worth it to me! So for anyone in Sydney, they are an option now too. Was the first R-20 that they had worked on. Now that they have worked on mine, they'll know what to do for anyone else's. Good luck with the re-build!

Hi Tom, I recently got a BSA 20 and it needs some bb work. I'd love to know what you did to yours. Cheers Hamish
