Raleigh Shopper (http://www.raleigh.co.uk/bikedetails.aspx?ID=1857)

Unfortunately there is no easy purchase path if you're in the US as Raleigh USA has not got the memo stating that there is a willing and thirsting market for the Twenty/Folder/Shopper. If you hit the Raleigh UK website with money they'll gladly take it, but home delivery of the product is limited to the UK only. :( The other most expensive option is to hitch a ride on British Airways or KLM and pick one up over there. Which makes a $300 $400 dollar Bike a $1,300.00ish to $4,300ish (Depending on how long you stay in the UK) bike..

I like old things, and I like unusual things.
I like things which I have made entirely my own.
I like that I often rate as cool things that other people are not impressed by.
I own a Citroen XM, and a Citroen AX.
For days when those aren't old enough, I also have a Triumph Herald Convertible, and a 1973 Bedfford coach.
I have over 20 bikes, because I can't make my mind up.
I love coffee, but tea intrigues me. Most of it I don't like, but it intrigues me.
I like good beer. Never the same beer that everyone else is drinking.
I like acoustic guitars. I like electric guitars too, but for those to be cool, they need to be 30 years old.


I also had a VW phase, or rather, my ex-wife did. She had a Type 2 Bay Window, and then after that a homebrew Beetle Convertible, which someone eventually torched (not me!).

You'd find there are many UK members ready to help. I've sent more than one bike oversees for BFers.
