For Sale GONE GONE

I think you should go with that...I'm pretty sure I'm probably the odd guy on my street to be fair. Although there is a guy a few doors down (who looks like an off-season Santa) who rides a Raleigh Twenty. Sadly his is not Poo Brown, is more of a 'Abandoned Transit Van Blue' colour...he lived here when I moved here 20 years ago and we've never spoken although he will nod If we pass each other on our bikes.

Twenty's are great bikes. I just have too many bikes and it's nice to do something nice for like minded people.

I'm glad it's going to a good home. Enjoy mate.

It's the perfect bike to pop to the local shops on, or even head into the city. Permanent lights, mudguards and a rack means it's a proper utility bike. Might even do a (re)build thread on it. The paint is staying. I'm gonna see how much I can "polish a turd" so to speak!

There's an old guy just up the road from me who rides an old 26" MTB. He doesn't drive at all and he always seems to come back up the hill with his panniers full, backpack full and with carrier bags hanging off his bars. He doesn't look like an off-season Santa (great phrase by the way!), but a very respectable gentleman. I might show him my Twenty and if I'm feeling generous, might let him have a go!

It's completely unf**ked with too.

I only joined Retrobike to sell some stuff and nearly two years later...
Failing spectacularly, funny how things turn out.

It is moi! I do love an old Raleigh having owned a few old Choppers, Grifters, Commados, Tomahawks in my time, I purchased Shoppers and RSW for spares. Raleigh were like British Leyland and many bikes shared many parts! I ended up keeping some fully build Shoppers/RSW's for a while because they were lovely to ride and great to bomb around on...
