[QUOTE 4926521, member: 45"]Just bagged myself another bargain. 1977 Raleigh Twenty. It's in great condition, with very little rust. Just needs some oil and bearing servicing and it will be pretty much as it came out of the factory.

[QUOTE 4926635, member: 45"]It's been used -the tyres are odd and have some wear one. I did the front wheel bearing yesterday and the grease had water in rather than being dried. So someone has been using it, but it doesn't look like it's ever been left out in the rain.[/QUOTE]
Entirely possible the water was included at the factory or the dealer

I know you have a bent for the small wheels but I just don't get it.

Original luggage and undamaged saddle. Looks like the rear tyre is the only non original part. Good find.

I inherited my sister's too. Probably why I hate 'em.

Fantastic little bikes and they ride much better than the sum of their parts suggest. They just need the gearing lowered a bit.

pimp my ride...
