I only know of two versions of the Twenty carrying the 20-inch wheel; one with a rigid frame, and the other with a folding hinge, called the "Stowaway". I don't think they came in "sizes", instead both bars and seat could go up and down quite a distance, and the bars could be rotated a bit around the clamp increasing the reach. I'm sure there were lots of colours, though my memory is all of a blue-green one our family owned; it had a front hub dynamo and a Sturmey 3-speed hub. I believe there was briefly a smaller model with an 18inch wheel, but I can't remember seeing one. There are various other small wheeled bikes made by Raleigh in the 1960's and 70's. Significant ones I can think of a RSW-16 Moulton (Mk3 made by Raleigh, under license from Alex Moulton). - Nigel -- Nigel Cliffe, Webmaster at http://www.2mm.org.uk/ |
