Raleigh Folder bike

Excellent bike to collect and ride. Fits on your boat or in a trunk.

Nice to see you appreciating a fine, misunderstood bicycle. I recently acquired 5. Instant collector!

Great bike, I love them and have a couple of my own. Hardly anything ever goes wrong with them because they are just so low-tech that they just keep going and going. They are really great little work-horses. Judging by the handlebars I would guess that yours is from the mid 70s. Normally you can tell from the Sturmey-Archer hub which will usually have the date stamped somewhere on it like 05/79 or something similar, but your hub doesn't look original - because as far as I know - they only made three-gear shoppers. Yours looks like it has had a bit of an upgrade.

Nice bike. I've got one in my attic. I would have liked to see more of the Goofy Newfie. Good Luck, Rick

I have the Raleigh Stowaway 20 folder with the original saddle and the 3 speed Sturney archer. It has a side stand and a Swiss made back carrier and Raleigh branded made in China whitewall tyres. 1972.

There was over 100,000 of these sold in the uk by 1977, they went out of production in 84
