I'm not going to be much help with this but with the exception of the fold and the colour, that frame is identical to one my Aunt has recently disposed of in a clearout of the junk in her outbuildings (but not before I'd snaffled the 3 speed Sturmey Archer wheel and fittings - the rest was too much of a project for me).

The one she had claimed to be made in Italy (I'm afraid I don't recall the brand name) and I suspect the same bike was sold under a few different names, much like the Raleigh 20 was.

There s bazillions of frames in this format around the world. But they're not all identical.

Looks rather like the old Universal folders that came from Eastern Europe back in the day. They were dreadful.
Got to be worth a go, though!

I am intrigued by the pedals, and guess they were not original spec.
They were only swapped-over yesterday. Today we did a reasonable pace 40 miler and with Chris at the helm the Super Deluxe was no slouch!

Just found the same bike in a flea market in Brussels. This one has got a three speed system, that's pretty cool ; )
