MacRetro chat and rides thread

Sorry no pics, it was from before I got a digital camera and I did not take any conventional pics either.

The bike was heavey and a complete munter, several of the bits including frame and fork were literally dragged out an overgrown ditch :LOL:
 
Although I have no experience of the Dawes it begs the question is a 20 worth doing? Is it a better bike or am I looking at this through rose tinted specs?
 
Type Raleigh twenty into Google, you'd be surprised at some of the customised shopper bikes out there.

Raleigh Twenty's have been compared favourably to Bike Friday's for those of us on a budget.

They're very tough, surprisingly versatile and seeing how much you can mod them is just fun :cool:

I have been doing that for a while thanks - before I found this site but was worried I was simply caught in the hype. Now I know it's not I might start seriously looking - I will start off in my parents barn...
 
Need to get some gear cable for the bananarama Yo (changing from ss to geared), brake cable outers are black but was toying with the idea of red, there will be nothing else red apart from some chill pills, is this wrong?
