THE RALEIGH TWENTY

Old biker who wants to poodle along! Due to physical problems I'm unable to cock my leg over my old mountain bike, so went looking for a small wheeled, no crossbar bike. In my searches I came across this site, and decided immediately that either the Twenty or Kingpin were what I was after. I will update with a piccie and info as soon as I purchase. I really like the idea of having a 'project' bike that will almost certainly need some attention. I started taking bikes to bits well over fifty years ago, and enjoy tuning bottom bracket, wheels etc to run absolutely perfectly. Watch this space!

OK, the bike I was after is mine! It's not a Twenty, it's a Kingpin. It appears to be in pretty poor condition, but original. The only thing I see missing (?) is the chainguard. I pick it up this afternoon, and am full of trepidation. My biggest worry is the tyres, as I've learnt they're a difficult size. But, I'm blogging on my profile; enough!

I've just added the eBay piccie.
