I've heard you all say a lot of good things about the Raleigh 20, so I'm thinking of getting one. I found a guy in my area with a Raleigh 20 that he is selling for $250. So far I only recieved a picture of the bike, but no description. I'll post a description once I get it. Please let me know what you think. BTW, In a folder I'm looking for reliability, and something that will last & last.

-Will it fit me (I'm 6'2")?

-Is the Raleigh 20 the great folder everyone makes it sound like?

-Is $250 too much, or just right for a bike like this?

-Would I be just as well of with a cheaper used Dahon?

Thanks in advance,
Mehow

I don't know what your standards are, so I can't address the quality of the folder, but last time I was in LA I bought a twenty on Ebay in what looks to be similar condition--OK but not great--for $50 from a guy in north hollywood. I think $250 is too much.
