Here is the listing... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161408096952&globalID=EBAY-GB&alt=web

It looks like its all there, looking at the photos the saddle might need replacing, there's NOS on the bay of e http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-S...sure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item2a421530c6

Enjoy.

looks like the handle bar clamp has a bit too, just seen a set for £12.50 on ebay .

 

[roadrash]

you would be suprised just how well that chrome will clean up.

 

[Cycleops]

A handlebar clamp for the same price as the bike! Bike looks in good order.

 

[GarryG]

That's what I was thinking, just waiting for an email back from the seller, so I can collect it.

 

[EltonFrog]

I think most of that will clean up very well, I'd be interested to see what the bell is like, it might be one of those shop branded ones. The chrome will clean up well with some Autosol or other chrome cleaner and very fine wire wool.

Will get some pics up in a bit, have just collected it, a fair bit of top rust, but we'll give it a wash down and see.

I've been banned from buying any more, when the Raleigh Twenty was discovered, as yesterday I also collected a 1930's Elswick Hopper Ladies three speed and the week before a 1940's Hercules men's three speed. Need to get them in gwo and decide what stays and what goes.

http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/restoration-twenty.148038/

has been sold ,
i still have a kingpin and another twenty(what mrs RR doesnt know cant hurt her) ..........can it , .........please tell me it cant..............

Had a good look at it today, need to think about this one, otherwise it may turn into a money pit.

So far...

The wheels are badly pitted and could do with replacing, both tyres are perished, saddle needs replacing, pedals need replacing, brake blocks are perished.

So it's quickly adding up.

I'll probably get linched for this next comment ;-) . The twenty I have has 20 X 1 3/8 tyres/wheels, I just so happen to have a bmx doing nothing in the shed, would the 20 X 1.75 wheels fit? The only thing is they are mag wheels.

After a quick clean up and a temporary saddle...
